I found most of the info on this site somewhere, cant remember where though.
The centre trim is not screwed on anywhere, it just needs the plastic part in front of the centre console removed, the gear stick surround lifted and then it can be pulled out, its only clipped in. Obviously care must be taken as the gearstick, switches and other things are attached to it from the underside.
The dash peice is pretty much all the one part from the start button to the air vent on the passenger side.
Various plastic dash surrounds must be removed before accessing the screws that hold this to the dash.
Its mostly common sense but I could post pics of the rear of the panels to show where they are fixed.
Buy plastic trim removers, they are really quite cheap for a set.

you will need to remove the rear upright centre console first to remove the section around the gear lever/handbrake.

Its just a case of removing various covers and undoing several screws.

Where are you based?

Its not too difficult and there are plenty of guides and youtube vids.

The rear centre console needs to come out before you can remove the centre console.

Take a look at realoem.com for an exploded view of the interior trim and how its held inplace

This is in the E89 section.
You dont need to remove the rear upright centre console as its nowhere near the centre console.
Unless OP has posted in the wrong section.
