Replacing lock/unlock button surround with chrome
The 2024 M2 has black plastic surrounding the lock/unlock button on the doors. I saw the 2023 2-series came with silver, part #51415A014F4. Has anyone successfully replaced this? Is it as simple as popping the surround out or will I need to take the door card off? 60 bucks seems like a relatively cheap OEM interior upgrade and I love the chrome look.

Gladly! I tried to order the part but it's not in stock in Germany/US anymore. Looks like the X5 might use a similar part. I couldn't find it at all for the G80/82 which makes me think it's not removable.

If it's removable, I'd happily trade you. Actually it appears as if it's just missing the aluminum-look piece. I'll take a close look at mine when I'm back in my car on Wednesday.

I've been a little too busy to do anymore research, unfortunately. |

Seems like there are a couple cosmetic changes whether it’s tied to cost cutting or product positioning (for silver switches when one chooses galvanic control). I noticed my car comes with black with white stripes seat adjuster compared with silver ones also so it could be some new supplier thing. I will ask my dealer as well and see if they have some parts laying around but glad to hear it can be done by just popping them off. Was thinking about changing and a voice in my head told me if I really want to deal with this small thing vs potentially introduce some rattles from removing trims pieces. |

@OP how do you pop out the parts? Does the door card need to be removed?

Confirmed, 2 sources said they are unavailable for ordering at this time. I may just need to pop the ones off my daughter's '23 M240, think she would know the difference?
