Sourcing together parts to do an Anthracite headliner conversion on my E92. Does anyone know if you can remove the colored plastic trim piece on the roof switch assembly?

I haven't removed my assembly yet to see how the trim is secured, just wondering if it's possible or if it's a molded unit. Pic for reference, just want to remove the gray piece to paint it and not spend $450 for a black switch assembly.

You can disassemble it to remove the innards from the rear so there are no switches etc in the way then to paint.
I recommend Colorbond BMW black

Good reminder on the colorbond. Completely forgot about that stuff. I was ready to try and color match a variety of flat/satin black paints.

Have you removed the trim cover before? Is it as simple as just removing the backing screws? Or is it a complex disassembly with small parts involved?

No worries I used it and Plasticote on trim pieces before now.
I can't remember I think there were around 6 screws in the back to seperate it

Yea, as said above. There’s screws that hold it in place. Small T10 screws I think.
