    Hi, does anyone know where I could pick up a wood interior trim kit for an '09 E60?, just got a new car and I don't like the silver dash

    do breakers yards sell this kind of stuff?, if so any yards in the kildare area?

    Try Ebay

    Traynors of NI

    Kilcock Dismantlers

    OR you could try a swap with someone on the BMW Forums,

    Most people hate the wood and would love to swap.

    www.bmw-driver.net

    Start from the Top. :cool:

    ok thanks, i have tried on the web, seem to available cheap for LHD cars in the US for less than $200, but not for RHD

    I don't suppose you know how much the main dealers charge for these?, I'm afraid to ask.....

    I would assume anything from 400-800 Euro.

    Forget the US, trim wont suit. Try all the avenues i put up, should have some luck there. More so in the UK plenty of BMW only scrapyards there.

    Why not look up realoem.com and just get the price of the bits you need?

    I would say someone would actually do a swap with you as lots of people don't like the wooden finish at all.

    Trim work is tricky without knowing where the clip are and having the tools. Its a DIY job all the same.

    Thanks for the feedback guys

    Had a look at the parts on realoem and one door strip of wood was $250, so I don't think I will bother with that.

    I posted an ad on bmw-drivers.net to do a swap.

    Can you buy this carbon fiber effect vinyl in ireland? I assume this would be pretty cheap

    Please don't do a vinyl wrap, it's look lousy, if I saw it in car I was looking to buy I'd run a mile.

    Listermint is right, there are many other avenues where you can get the real thing.
