carpet removal question

[E30 Wagen]

Can you remove the carpet without removing the dashboard?

Yes , but you have to remove the center console .
Most guys just trim around the heater core area in the center as it will all be cover with the console anyway .

Or if you're a lazy retarded bastard you can also carefully trim around the centerconsole completely so you don't have to pull it , put that is a feble attempt at best .

do it like this:
DO cut around the heater core
take out the carpet and after that grab a flat head and pair of pliers and pull it out.
So it'll be legit

As above, but be prepared:
No wimminfolk present, as the language will be severe.

If you smoke, drink, whatever, have plenty on hand.

Knives, tools, and general stuff, food, blankets, etc.

I have pulled carpet form several dozen cars. E30 was one of the hardest.

It will take more effort to cut around the console. Just pull the console out, takes like 3 min.

i just got it all out in one piece with no cutting or anything



it was a bitch

Now the million dollar question, how hard is it to put back in? I am debating putting carpet back in to my E30 that i bought stripped. I was contemplating selling it and buying a vert...

Well...I'll let you know...mine is still in the shipping process...shouldn't be that hard.

$ 204 from stockinteriors which NO ONE has actually fitted into their car yet.
somehow alot of people have bought from them, but they havn't actually fitted them in their cars...that's the only thing that bothers me...but I guess I'll find out first hand.

Good deal. Let me know how that turns out as i got some samples from them and i like their carpets. I would much rather buy new than try to take the whole carpet out of a junker in one piece.
