Awesome! I used adhesive auto Vinyl in matt black (ebay) instead of painting it was really easy and now looks like its brand new. I highly recommend adhesive vinyl over painting, it matches the trim on the wheel buttons better, required no sandpapering, and hopefully will never need to be re-done (fingers crossed!) Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, I have moved on to an ActiveHybrid and do not have that vehicle :(. Have you seen this one? ruclips.net/video/-vhDypF-g30/видео.html
Its so ridiculous that a car like the m3 (especially this one) would have this issue. You would think that spending quite a bit of money on a car like this, you would not have this problem.
Start with ultra fine grit (over 2000) and then work your way down depending on how much you want to remove. I would definitely not go below 1000 as it will leave marks.
Thanks. My concern with airbag removal was the need to disconnect the battery which would reset all your settings etc so the time you save there you would need to make up in doing the extra steps.

Thanks for posting this- I just swapped mine out in under 10 minutes!
Good job mate. You've inspired me to do mine.
Thanks for the help. Did mine today
Matt Payne great! I'm glad you found it helpful
Great info!
Very helpful nice!!❤
Great tips my friend thank u!!
Супер ти је видео👍
Would it make the removal easier if you start on the clips at the back first, then move to the torx screws
Did you use primer at all, and what grit of sandpaper did you use?
Thanks for sharing this video. Can I know what kind of sandpaper you used for sanding? what are the steps?
David did you figure it out? Thanks
Great video, best I've seen so far on youtube! Could you do the shift knob? Zivio

Dragoslav Grbovic Thanks for the link, but I was talking about the shift knob, the stick!
Perfect video! Just dunno weather to wrap mine alcantara or gloss black now rather than painting ...
Lets Torque Cars don't do alcantara unless ur gonna maintain it every week and or wear gloves while driving
Team ACG might do it for selling it, so it looks good for the buyer and then they can watch what there doing with it 😁
I just wraped all my nasty silver interior trim into black brusched vinyl. Look awesome, gonna do the steeringwheel now;)
Danijel Dankic you deserve WAY more subs man specially with his many views this has got!
Danijel Dankic you should start doing more car vids more often you could really make something of your youtube channel man!
Did you car come with paddles and what model is this
thanks, helped a lot!
You are welcome! I am glad it was helpful
Good job, thank you for this video, but the result looks like awkward,I think a matte black or a vinyl spray will look like the original one
You are correct. I feel i kind of rushed on that. More matte spray would have been better
Would plasti-dip look closer to stock than spray paint?
If you're still interested, no it doesn't I gave it a try and it looks way too bumpy.
Do you need a magnetic t20??? Because I did it with a regular t20 and they are unscrewed but won’t come out of the whole??
I did not have a magnetic tip. It simply takes a long time to unscrew. It does appear that it never ends but then they do come out :).
What color did you use? It looks too shiny !!!
Helpful 👍🏽

Yes, tooo glossy. Satin would be my choices
Nice video.. did the paint start to come off or no
The new paint did not (yet).
Dragoslav Grbovic ok great i will paint mine tmro..thx
Do I need to unplug my battery so my airbag won’t blow up or is it fine to leave it
I did not unplug the battery and you work around the airbag while it remains attached.
Battery off?
It would be much easier if you removed the airbag first.
True !! Idk why his doing it like that you can break it like that
Doesn't look like you put the soft touch paint back on
Do you need to disconnect the battery / airbag?
Peter Turley no need to disconnect the battery at all. Simply don't turn the car on.
Does the "M" trim fit on the regular steering wheel?
No it does not. Youd have to get a matching steering wheel or buy the matching trim for a regular wheel that has some sort of “M” on it
What sand paper do you use????
Start with ultra fine grit (over 2000) and then work your way down depending on how much you want to remove. I would definitely not go below 1000 as it will leave marks.
Thank you!
What type of screwdriver have you used ?!
Jeanth Vincent T20 torx bit screw driver
I've used many screwdrivers from Phillips, flat head, torx,hex to even a Robertson's
Good effort but that wheel is a mess I would replace it with a new one maybe a nice customized one end of story
To do a good job you had to remove the airbag.
Did u have to unhook the battery?
Jampee Saenthongkham I did not disconnect the battery. I feel it is too much pain :)
Helpful video, but you did not get even one focus-point with your camera. I barely got sick while watching...lol.
I agree and I apologize for that. I need a head-mounted camera for other videos
good instructions but will be easier with air bag out it takes 10 seconds
Thanks. My concern with airbag removal was the need to disconnect the battery which would reset all your settings etc so the time you save there you would need to make up in doing the extra steps.
Right enough but it can be done without disconecting battery as long ignition is off Most important job done and helpful 👍
Next time take out the airbagas first. will see how easy to work. And do not paint it will work not for long time. Wrap it ;)
Should just use Plasti Dip and a matte finish
Say what the paint is....
It is KRYLON Color Master Paint and Primer (shown at 5:52 point)
Or just use a sticker to fix the damaged spot :D - 10 second fix
looks like crap... you can stille see the scuff marks under the paint... horrible
I agree. If I could do it again, I would have used finer sand paper.
Bad maint
