Question regarding the Carbon/Alcantara trim

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting the Carbon/Alcantara trim for my F22, but I am confused about one thing: Does the Carbon/Alcantara trim contain the center console cover as well? I've read conflicting reports about this.

I think the official website states that it's separate, but as I said, I've read conflicting reports. Can anyone who has the trim help me out please?

Thanks in advance!

The kit comes with the door pulls, driver side vent, passenger side trim, and the center console trim where the idrive controller is.

The console trim that you are referring to is separate from the kit, and that is the piece underneath your shift knob. The shift knob and e Brake are all separate parts as well.

Call Brian at Sun Motor Cars for the pieces, I bought mine from him and he's by far the cheapest.

Thanks, that clarifies things. I think I've got it sorted out. Complete interior trim for auto trans:
51162343739 M Performance Carbon Fiber Shifter Console Trim
34402222538 M Performance Carbon Fiber & Alcantara E-Brake Handle Assembly
61312250696 M Performance Carbon Fiber Selector Lever Trim
51162405917 M performance Alcantara Armrest
51952333984 M Performance Carbon Fiber & Alcantara Interior Trim Set

I wish I could, but I don't live in the US. That might change one day though

Yeah the only one I don't have is the armrest. However the part for our cars is 51162405915 and not 51162405917.

This may be different for non US cars but I'm pretty sure they are the same.

How difficult is it to swap out the armrest? II really like the Alcantara one. Trying to find install instructions before ordering.

Seems you're right. Thanks for the heads up!
