M Performance Interior Kit

MachinesWithSouls · 01-12-2019, 09:16 PM

Installed today. Very easy to do, if anyone is on the fence about it. Also did an LCI trim panel and IND start button with gloss surround to match.

Looks great!

I would like to get rid of the wood trim I have for this kit.

zamboni · 01-13-2019, 12:22 AM

Very nice upgrade

chhappy7 · 01-13-2019, 01:17 AM

How did you remove the center vents and buttons and stuff from the trim? I've been looking for videos but all of them show the pulling of trim/vent assembly but not the separating of the parts.

It just unclips from the trim. The vents and the buttons come out as one piece.You disconnect two connectors, remove the assembly and snap it into the the new trim piece. Reinstall

My car comes with piano black gloss trim for the stereo and the trim piece on the passenger side as well as brushed aluminum or steel not sure which. I would replace the wood trim if you have that. I doesn't look as bad on the e90 for some reason.

Once the center trim is out, use a small screw driver to pop out the tabs on the vents and they come right out.

Nice work! I cracked my door handle getting it off for my CF trim. Last time I try that in cold weather.. Lol

Good thing my handle was being covered in CF so it didn't matter, but definitely wasn't a pleasant experience!

XutvJet · 01-13-2019, 10:16 AM

The key to doing this install without breaking things or deeply scratching things are plastic trim removal tools and patience.

atlguy · 01-13-2019, 05:40 PM

Looks awesome!

I have the same, and think it's by far the best looking dash trim.

What is in the kit? Have an M performance car & am not sure what I am looking at beside the logo.

Awesome, did you do analog AC (pre lci) to digital ac (LCI) it's the one that looks sleeker and it changes to white instead of amber during the day

Yea, at 1400 it's a vanity upgrade for sure, but I'm tempted to do so. Will have to wait until trim is complete and M Performance power kit is installed.

Sounds like a solid plan do you already have NBT Evo or NBT?

It's NBT. I don't think I'll do the EVO - it just doesn't seem like much of an upgrade in that regard. And 2400...might as well have gotten a 2016 at that point!

So the handbrake part of the ‘conversion’ isn’t included in the kit too?

The hand brake, arm rest, shifter and shifter surround are all sold separately. There are also many steering wheel options.

eBay seems to be the best place to go for this, a good deal can usually be found.
