Today I did this work, great result! This video was extremely precise and helpful. Took me about 4 hours. Btw the blue part is riveted so removing it is not recommended ( fro those who asked ) :D
I did my interior with tinybots 6d carbon today, however I can not get the door handles correct, I had it decent but when I went to reinstall on the car all the wrinkles were super apparent.. Im gonna try again tomorrow with more heat maybe, its tough with the rounded edges! But the rest came out great!
Greetings - Thank for all your M235i videos - explanations are always neat and clear. Could I ask the temp setting you used for your heat gun ? Also, I didn't seem to see how you wrapped the steering wheel cover. Would there be any specific hint or point of attention to bear in mind ? Many thanks !
If you are going to use carbon fiber I would use a bigger sheet like this one so you can match the pattern. amzn.to/3ugVQcA Otherwise a 5ftx12in is enough
Hi Fritz, great video as always. I am about to do this as well, in the mean time can the car be driven without the idrive controller connected just incase?
Just going to pretend I never came across this before I start wondering how my interior would look if I changed it up a bit... “you’re perfect just the way you are baby...”
If you want to match the direction of the OEM Trim I would get a 3x 5. If you don't care then a 1 x 5 would be enough. 3x5: amzn.to/3AU4zBk 1x5: amzn.to/3lQRODo
@@FritzRamos Thanks for the quick reply! Do you have dimensions as not sure how big of a roll to get. I might have to just measure out the parts. Cheers.
After car wrapping my panels. My bmw F21 failing power steering and airbag failure idrive don't work. It's gone in safety mode . And telling me to drive to nearest bmw service 😑 damn
@@FritzRamos it was a fuse when i disconnect idrive controller . Should disconnect battery i guess😂 one guestion is do i only disconnect the negative for next time ?:)
You should mention to disconnect the battery any time work is being performed on electrical components specially airbags.
Safety #1 😁
Thank you, that's a good point. I definitely overlooked filming that. If you don't mind, can I pin your comment?
Fritz Ramos absolutely, cheers!!
Thank you for your response and attention to detail 👍

Glad to hear that the video helped you and thanks for sharing that part about the trim

Hi dude, just to add you miss the pattern of the carbon fiber, take a look to the 3 different pieces of the steering wheel, not in same direction
Good call!
very helpful
You’re welcome . Thanks for your support
Nice job!!!
Thanks. How it helps
Picking mine up tmr can you please share your input on how much to order sorry did you already mentioned it I didn’t see or hear in the video

So the silver pieces don’t come off without taking the entire vents out?
Correct. They're attached.
Hi Fritz, great video as always.
I am about to do this as well, in the mean time can the car be driven without the idrive controller connected just incase?
You can, you just won't be able to manage your screen
@@FritzRamos many thanks.
How do you you make the edges of the trim blue? Is that wrapped too?
Heyhey, can you tell me whether you have used CFS12 (black) or CFS201 (anthracite)?
Cf12 Black. Let me know if you need help
can you use a hair drier instead of a heat gun
You can. It might take a bit longer, but it'll work
Just going to pretend I never came across this before I start wondering how my interior would look if I changed it up a bit... “you’re perfect just the way you are baby...”
Lol. Nothing wrong with a classic
How much of this should I buy? 1/2ft by 5 feet or will I need more?
If you want to match the direction of the OEM Trim I would get a 3x 5. If you don't care then a 1 x 5 would be enough.
3x5: amzn.to/3AU4zBk
1x5: amzn.to/3lQRODo
How much wrap did you need?
Just one roll from the link in the description should be be more than enough 👍
Can you take off the blue trim from the components?
I don't know. Personally I like it but I can take a look
Would a hair dryer work in lieu of heat gun?
It could, just might take longer and might not be as hot.
I have the same items to wrap in my 1 series, how much vinyl will I need for this (minus the steering wheel)?
1 roll should be fine.
@@FritzRamos Thanks for the quick reply! Do you have dimensions as not sure how big of a roll to get. I might have to just measure out the parts. Cheers.
The one I have linked in the description is the exact size I used
What size role did u buy
The one in the description link is the exact one I used.

No no! What ended up being the culprit?
@@FritzRamos it was a fuse when i disconnect idrive controller . Should disconnect battery i guess😂 one guestion is do i only disconnect the negative for next time ?:)
@@FritzRamos when i disconnect the idrive controller in center console . A fuse was going . That's all.
Is this a command problem when disconnecting the idrive?
Where’s the fuse located at?
Where are you 🥴?
From northern california. You?
Fritz Ramos from Iraq, my regards for you
Original looked better....imo
