Just finished up. Not bothering with pictures, since it looks exactly like EvenKeel's.
A few observations.

I believe it's the LED that illuminates (poorly) the centre cubbie hole.
Great write up OP! Thank you! Also very useful for the guys wishing to swap their center trim for the 4 series gloss black version! As seen here...

I've installed the gloss black with matte black surround version, but have a 3mm gap above the numbered buttons.
Has anyone else found this? Picture currently last on 3rd page of following post: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...=886145&page=3 Last edited by DAN; 10-26-2014 at 08:30 PM.. Reason: Added link to image on another post |

Mr Even Keel- Bit more info?
Hi from Australia mate. That upgrade looks slick!!! Wondering how you technically managed to get the radio and air-con controls to separate though. Trying to do something similar with my 125i and I get the disctinct feeling I'm going to break something when I try and prise the controls away from the surround trim with a screwdriver/trim tool. Just wondering how you actually proceeded, did you insert the screwdriver from the front between the controls and the surround trim where you guessed a clip to be and lever til the clips disengaged?

just curious did you guys happen to see anything related to the lights when you were taking the hvac unit out? i would really prefer to have white lighting instead of amber. i noticed the 2016 m4s now have white hvac lighting. I think all of the units are basically the same, i am assuming they may be leds soldered to a board but maybe its not that bad..

Thanks EvenKeel
Your instructions saved me a ton of time and aggravation replacing my damaged controls. Literally made it a 15 minute job.

Had a manufactured CF plate mounted, seller meanwhile discontinued the production but it had looked great.
To extend the blue or red trim line downwards to surround the cluster? Nah, looks riced! Change frame to matte chrome was no option for me after changing the silver hex to carbon dark.
