Thanks for the write up, Really helped a lot during my installation. The process took me an hour by myself.

Here's a picture of mine in Oyster Dakota Leather trim

Great looking mods. Really like the dark carbon and alcantara contrast against the oyster/beige.

Did you install the gear lever and surround yourself too? Would you mind sharing how to installed those bits if so?

Thanks.

Thanks! I didn't expect it to turn out so well myself. For the gear surround I wedged a small flat head screwdriver between the gaps and leveraged the piece out.

steve@codemybimmer · 02-12-2014, 10:03 PM

Has anyone done this on a saddle brown luxury line?

I'm thinking about getting this myself but I'm having mixed thoughts on how this will look.

Great thanks for the tip.

I'm having a tough time of removing mine (though it is an F20 hatch), think I am being TOO gentle.

white_shark · 02-19-2014, 02:49 PM

It's fantastic!!!

I just installed mine yesterday and am really liking it, though has anyone else noticed that the passenger side air vent does not have the shine black ring around it?

I ordered mine from Pasco-hk.com
They stock quite a bit of RHD Parts.

rheza · 04-14-2014, 03:13 AM

nice...
how did you open the side ac vent? could you share some pict if you have.

thank you

Meds · 04-15-2014, 08:57 AM

Slightly off topic so apologizing in advance, but does anyone know if the M Performance Carbon Fiber Shift Knob & Alcantara Boot for F30/31 comes in RHD and LHD variants or is it one size fits all?

BMF31 · 04-20-2014, 03:34 PM

I need a little help. I ordered the performance trim (part # 51952230351) for my F31 2014. I do not have the updated 2014 idrive that is on the 2014 F30's. When I installed the idrive trim piece there was a 3mm gap around the idrive controller. Is the new idrive controller larger? I can't find a different part number for 2013 or 2014 F30's. Anyone else have this problem? thx

The Side AC Vent take a little bit of pressure to pull off. The vent is firmly clipped in.

I didn't have that issue, the trim is compatible with both controllers.

Yeah I don't know why I had an issue. The trim is being returned. I'm just worried to order again. Name: Image 1.jpg

This is quite strange. Is the M Performance trim kit only for those who have the navigation iDrive?

DB328 · 05-14-2014, 08:22 AM

Where did you buy these parts? It looks very nice.
