Difficulty Level for Dash Swap

[markseven]

On a scale of 1 - 9, in your opinion, what is the difficulty level for a dash swap?

Difficulty scale:
Adding air to your tires = 1
Rebuilding a M20 = 9

I am wondering if I should tackle this myself or pay an experienced BMW guy $100 to do it for me.

Please vote!

It really isn't that hard, it's just tome consuming unless you've done it before. It's as simple as pulling the old one out an putting the new one in. Nothing very hard, except maybe remembering where everything goes. Just label stuff unless you have a good memory.

I voted a 5 cause i've only pull one out and never put one in. But when i pulled it out it wasn't very bad to do just time consuming like everyone else is saying

it's not like rebuilding an M20 is that hard...

It is fucking cake. I did it on pasha's car before he owned it.

If you were the kind of kid that could take things apart, fix them, and get them back together and working without having any extra parts left over then this is a fairly easy task. But if you were the kind of kid that always managed to put the telepone handset back on the cradle in the wrong direction this job might not be for you.

I can't believe some of you guys said he should pay somebody $100 to do it, lol.

If anybody wants me to swap their dash for $100 let me know. ;)

Can you do it for $50?

What about rattles and squeaks and shit? Has anyone replaced their dash and had an irritating noise crop up from a piece of plastic that didn't like getting pulled apart and put back together again? My car needs it too, and I know I could do it no problem but i'm concerned about disturbing the no-squeak karma my dash currently has going. then again, nothing to ruin my nice clean interior like having to look at the dash...

Mr 325 you can do mine for $100 then although I am on the east coast so I guess that means I will have to do the easy swap myself. Oh well worth a try

All you need. Did it myself and yes it is time consuming
