2014 Interior Trim Question
I just purchased a 2014 BMW 328i with wood interior trim strips and navigation/tech package. I am interested in replacing the wood trim with aluminum trim that I purchase in the classifieds (so it's coming off 2012/2013 models). Do you all think that the 2012/2013 aluminum trim will fit my 2014?
Thanks! |

OP, I am considering trim replacement too. Have a similar question since my car is still on the boat, arriving soon!
I ordered the car with Walnut wood because I could not live with the fact that Aluminum trim reflects like crazy in bright sunlight (esp. Hexagon one). Consider that before you replace the trim. I do not plan to keep the walnut trim either, and would switch to M-perf Carbon Fiber/Alcantara Trim. It may be about the same price for Aluminum trim. what trim do you have on yours? If it is Anthracite wood, I might be interested to buy it off from you, in case you sell it

That's interesting about the aluminum reflecting sunlight... I didn't really consider that. Oh, and mine has the Burl Walnut trim. I do like the silver strips underneath the wood--it gives it a much more modern appearance than what I imagined.
Hopefully we can get a definitive response about whether the previous model trim pieces fit the 2014. It sounds like there's no reason they shouldn't...but... |

You should be fine. As for the aluminum reflecting sunlight.... ...I don't have that issue. What DOES reflect is the damn HUD area. Grrr! |

I have just replaced my burleood trim on MY2014 with hexagon aluminum from a 2013 and can confirm it fits withno issue. The center armrest/idrive controller trim bolts the idrive controller a little bit differently but it had no hindrance when installing it. Just different but does the same thing in the end. All other pieces were exactly the same. The i drive conttoller size fit exactly the same as well.
