First.. just a heads up this won't work for anyone with a manual transmission.

That said.. survey of one, the matte finish looks really bad against the piano black.

If your interior looks like this below, then no it won't work.

Looking at this interior photo, it appears the center console buttons have a matte finish. If so, do they make the same for the autos? I hate the shiny finish around gear selector.

Any advise on how to remove the block from the console? I almost broke my trim tool trying to pry it out.

Does that panel not snap back down with the coin box in place?

In both photos posted it appears to sit lower than the other trim, that's why I asked.

Not at all, is sits at the same level, but it has a small gap to let the lid being open.

It really looks and feels BMW oem
