dash covering

hey guys I want to recover my dash in alcantera suede and leather. has anyone actually removed the whole dash assembly, and if so could you give me some pointers?

I haven't on my F32, but I did on my e90.

Basically first thing is to remove all the accessories to the dash, cluster, headunit, glove box, bottom plastic panels in the footwells, then there was some screws on the bottom.

I'm sure its similar, I know this isn't too helpful but its a starting point.

Subscribed. Very interested in getting the leather dash from the M4 installed. Maybe it would be easier just to bring it to a leather upholster shop. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

I will take it to a shop Custom Creations in Chilliwack B.C. Dereck has done a number of cars for sema and ces, so his work is outstanding, and he is very very reasonable..

I'm in Vancouver. Curious what they would charge to do this for you and what parts specifically would you be wrapping?
Thanks!

I'm really curious about the results. I'd be totally into doing something like that if if it looked good. Might do red alcantara + black leather dash to match my interior!

Can this leather dash be ordered after the car is built? I didn't order my car with it, but I would buy the part and have it installed if it's available.
