E92, wood on dash removeable? possible? interior swap?

Hello guys been looking for an e92 in white etc etc i have very strict guidelines and let a few slip thre my fingers in the last weeks. I have found the perfect but, or almost. It has the dakota brown interior (which i really do not like) and the brown wood trim on the dash and console. I plan to try to trade someone for black interior, seats and door panels.
Do very many people like the brown, or do you think id have a hard time doing so? Id even consider offering money on top, and paying for a professional to do the swap

Anyway id be left with the wood on the dash, is that perm. fixxed to the dash or can I remove it and do the aluminum trim? If the answers are right i may try to buy the car today
thanks!

yes, the trim panels pop off, and can be replaced. Most people seem to prefer the aluminum or black trim over the dark walnut though, so it might be difficult to find a trade.

awesome! Im more worried about the actual dakota brown seats. id just buy the trim out right and put it up on ebay

Thats great they pop off. How about the door panels, and seat removal? I hate to do this to a new car but damn Id really like the black interior and would even do $500+ the swap. maybe someone selling the car anyway or somthing

The kits come with all of the trim pieces. They vary widely in price.

Tischer has the interior kits listed here

Yes, all trim pieces just pop off with a little effort. Check the DIY section to see how to do it. Trading your Brown interior will be a bit harder. It's not a widely popular color but you may learn to like it if you can't find a trade.
