here is another option here in the US that is reasonably priced and backed by a company that can support you if you prefer the stick on type. We also have a hybrid option which is full replacement like OEM for the console so you dont have a lip around the shifter or the cup holder cover for not much more.

Bought everything but the steering wheel trim from JOGON on AliExpress, this is Glossy Set B for ID8. Got to Texas in 4 days over New Years. Looks amazing.

Steering wheel I got from a separate seller on Ali whose name I am forgetting but can look up if someone cares to know. It also looks fresh, but it's going to be a slightly different weave than my carbon paddle shifters (which I think will be fine, it's not like I'm staring at them all day).

Everything was easy to apply solo except for the giant dash piece, holy shit that was tough. Even with 4 hands we struggled and it's not *perfect* but it's good enough for me and all but the most annoying of passenger ha.

$270 for the carbon center piece, tray, dash, and the two side pieces by the console.

$70 for the steering wheel (which is too much, I wouldn't pay that if I weren't stoned over Christmas).

Worth it, totally changed the feeling of the interior and I don't mind losing the ambient lighting on the dash either.

What's even better is Bimmercode got updated! Haven't used it months but I used it to enable anti dazzle, and noticed the GUI now lets you easily assign new colors for interior lighting. So finally got a blood red theme for night driving.

I do wish it was a bit brighter, it's maxed out and still pretty dull. I know Infinite Autowerks has an easyish install for the cup holder lighting.

Anti dazzle is my favorite option to code in. It sucks that it’s not a standard option due to USA having ancient regulations still in place.

I personally do care much for interior lighting. I set it to white and it is what it is.

The Jogon overlay for the piano black round the airvents is the one non OEM CF that I have in the cockpit and I think ot's a nice addition, far enough away from the wheel that the very minor weave mismatch isn't an issue.

I just ordered this part last night actually. Felt like something was missing without killing that last little bit of piano black

I was looking at the Jogon store and saw the one listed for the 2023 G87 M2. Is that the one you guys are ordering?

These! Expensive but much cheaper than OEM and it really does transform the interior (though lol, this can also be a fingerprint magnet in the right lighting).

Steering wheel I got from a different vendor. It doesn't match the paddle shifters or the console 1:1 but no one is looking with a microscope.

So our dashes are basically the same ones as in the LCI 3 series cars. Thanks for the info, I am going to order one. I already installed the other parts, the same ones you have ordered, this will round it out nicely.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah you got it!

Btw does the '24 M240i have a mild hybrid? Driving in comfort today and the live vehicle display says it was charging battery when I let off the gas. Maybe that's a bug from the 3 series because I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a 48V
