2012 X5M inserts for interior trim
I'm wondering if anyone know's how to separate the colored portion of the trim from the aluminum part that snaps or screws into the dash and doors. What i'm trying to do is separate the carbon weaving portion of the trim from the aluminum portion of the trim. I have a beautiful black inserts for the trim of my dash but its only the top part of the entire trim assembly. Trying to replace just that portion. I was told it can be removed and then the new piano black trim burn mounted to the aluminum. Any help would be great. Thanks!

If I understand correctly...I suppose you could do that, but as you can tell by the pic, you need to shear off those melted plastic rivets and then figure out a way to re-install with adhesive(?). If you've acquired some OEM piano black trim, it should already come with the aluminum pieces riveted to it, so it's just a simple swap of trim parts once you remove the door panels. The trim pieces are bolted to the door panel via hex nuts.
I took this pic just before wrapping the aluminum part of my trim in gloss black.

Do I understand correctly that you have OEM Piano trim w/o the aluminum pieces? If so, what do the plastic studs look like on the back?
