I ordered the 4 piece set (left/right door handles, console, center dash) from sunmotorsbmwparts on eBay. They have the best price (and Brian is very responsive), and the 4 piece set they sent fit my 2018 M240ix. His photo on eBay shows the old dashboard, but he changed his eBay listing to reflect that it's a 4 piece set. If you scroll up on this page, you'll see that CP11 has the new dash with the CF kit. Even the photos you'll find on BMW's site show the old dash, which was a 5 piece set. Wherever you buy the set, confirm that it's 4 pieces and will fit the 2-series LCI dashboard. It's confusing, I know. |

I am really enjoying the new carbon fiber trim. It adds a special touch to a already amazing interior. It will be complete soon enough.

Am I the only one who equates carbon fiber trim with a vinyl roof?
Or am I the only one old enough to remember vinyl roofs? |

I know the LCI dash pieces are completely different shapes, but aren't their still 5 pieces? 2 door handles, center console, left driver's vent, and main dash piece?

Yes you are correct! Two vents, one on each side, two door handle trim pieces, center trim above radio and console trim next to shifter.

I thought this would look unfinished but after I installed it, it looked just fine. |

The pre-LCI dash had the main, large Alcantara dash piece as part of the far right AC vent trim. They included the far left AC vent trim to match, hence the 5-piece kit. Essentially, for LCI, they chose to do one large Alcantara/carbon piece for the center AC vents and did not include the outside vents. This is opposite of pre-LCI where they did outsides, but not center.

I ordered my M240i with an estoril blue exterior and oyster interior (to brighten things up a bit) but the iDrive controller area and the door handles seem a bit much in aluminum...debating on the center vents though as the blue band seems attractive enough. Thanks! |

CP911 Thanks much- I think I'll do the same (the recycle bin sky hook move). I've seen a few videos with people installing the 2017 trim...in your experience was the 2018 trim just as straight-forward?
I have the auto, so won't require the Hulk smash pull you performed on your shifter. Appreciate the photos! |

Guys, just as future reference for anyone looking for the LCI interior trim (part #: 51952454349) which fits the 2018 M240i, I uploaded a photo.
It consists of four parts: 1. center vent trim 2. iDrive trim 3. 2x Door handles *The carbon fiber under the alcantara (the piece on the far right) is fused/glued onto the alcantara portion, so if you wanted to use other colored trim (the estoril blue part, for instance) you won't be able to. |

having trouble installing trim over climate vents
I have the m240i LCI trim kit and having trouble installing the trim that goes on the climate vent. I do not wanna break any of the clips and was wondering if theres a better way of doing it.

I think this is the best DIY tutorial we have around here:
https://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=974744 I don't recall having to do anything special with the vent trim. I think the climate vents just pivot out of the surrounding trim based on the orientation of the plastic clips holding it in place.
