Yes the upper half of the dashboard thats padded... geez don't be so technical... lol

all the dashboard is padded!

why do u want to remove it?

its a massive job, you have to remove almost everything next to it

not trying to be a smart a$$, but take everything out.. all of it. start w/ the panel under the steering wheel, the glove box, and i think part of the center console.... which may just be the small piece next to the glove box.
Just take your time and carefully remove screws, bolts, etc making note of where they came from or take digital pictures as you disassemble. That way you can reference where things go. Good luck.

Look , no disrespect intended, but unless you are going to answer my question with something other than another question.. please stop replying to this post .. all i want is some help in removing it... "why" isn't important ...

Thank you very much for replying.. it is a lot of work just to replace the pad ... oh well it will look good when I'm done.. at least thats what i keep telling myself ... LOL

i answered your post, i said as others have to remove everything around it, and to be perfectly frank, its fairly obvious that you have to do this and if you didnt post such stupid questions, then perhaps u would get more technical replys

also use the right wording, then people understand you, upper dash pad! WTF, its called a dashboard

I have to agree... its a little vague... and the topic "No takers?" the only reason i looked was because i thought something was for sale.


took me and jason about 40 mins to remove the dashboard out of his dismantled M5... we had a ton of **** out already, goes to show how tedious it is.
