How to Replace the Chrome Trim on a BMW Steering Wheel

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Steering wheel

Video tutorial

Many people do not appreciate the chrome trim on their car, both inside and out. Fortunately, there are various options to replace these trims, whether shiny or matte. For example, on BMW steering wheels, there is a matte chrome insert that can be easily removed with a plastic spatula, as it is only pressed in. The piece can be replaced, for instance, with one that has a carbon fibre style finish, like the one in the video, which you can find on Amazon with the code B08JM35WP1, priced at £35.01 including delivery, and it installs with the same ease as the chrome one, just by pressing it in.
