Wood trim Swap Question

New member here! been surfing this forum for a while, but just recently got a 328xi and it came with wood trim that i don't particularly like. I was looking at the piano black or aluminum trim from tischer, but was wondering if it came with clips or would i have to transfer my clips from the wood trim? thanks in advance!

There's not really clips. It's more of a metal plug that is not removable from the trim that plugs into a hole in the location of the trim. So no you won't have to replace the clips because there are no clips to replace

Just got a set of OEM Dark Glacier aluminum trim from Tischer and all of the metal tabs/plugs came with the new trim, so no changing parts from old trim to new trim. Install was pretty straightforward. I could do my car again in 30 minutes now that I've done it once. Time to place your order!
