Grab from the slotted side outward.
Just don't drop it since you may damage it.
Thank you. The amount I was considering to pay for such a simple task would have annoyed me to no end.

The Genuine BMW M Performance carbon fiber ones appear to be $300 each!!! That's insanely expensive for what the parts are. Does anyone know of some quality aftermarket ones that are actually affordable?

I'm not opposed to the covers that stick over the factory ones, but am concerned that they may look a little thick and chunky.

The ones wrapped in vinyl look nice. Unless I find another affordable option that I like, I may try wrapping mine using some 3M Series 1080 CF12 carbon fiber vinyl.

Won't look clunky at all, they are super thin. Can't even tell really.

(A little late, but maybe still helpful...) If the OEM Carbon option feels a little pricey, the OEM Black ones are very clean looks (just added them to my M550, swapping out the cerium gray ones):

Part #s:
51-74-7-439-013 (L/Driver)
51-74-7-439-014 (R/Passenger)

Hey UKF30, do you place the CF and laminate over the OEM piece or do you create a mold using the OEM parts? Love your CF skills btw.
