I have been wondering why the GC has silver lock/unlock, and memory buttons but the coupe has black buttons. What goes into changing out the iDrive puck replacement?

Looks fantastic, nice work!

Very nice mods and they blend well with the rest of the trimming.

My feeling is, that BMW engineers are developing stuff for themselves, not for the customers :-) But on the other hand, it is a great oppurtunity to change small things in the car as one of my hobbies.

Nice! I already have the metallic buttons but didn't know that was a "GC thing".

I wayyyy prefer that glass iDrive controller. FFS, BMW. :

The convertible came with the same silver, I wondered what he changed. But now you say the black.

How hard was it to remove the window switch panel? Sort of related but not.. I have an issue with the plastic window trim creaking like crazy and that effects the door panel when I grab the handle it seems to pull on that plastic part and creaks like crazy and makes my car sound so cheap Dealer told me nothing they could do but was wondering how hard would it be to remove that piece and maybe put some felt underneath to help with the creaking? Thanks
