Interior Help

I'm replacing the carpet in my 90 325is and am stuck in a few spots. I can't seem to figure out how to lift the console around the shifter, nor can I seem to get the inner door sill loose. Just wondering if anyone has either done this before or have messed with these parts.

there are only a couple places where the centre console are attached to the driveshaft tunnel; open up, and remove the rear ashtray, you'll see the nut. remove the shift knob and Ebrake handle, and open and remove the front ashtray. there are two screws to take out in the compartment under the heater controls where you put your cellphone/ sun glasses / cigs, etc... take those out... that'll get everything loose, you'll be fine after that... take the window switches out, and you're pretty much done. The door panels (haven't done these in a while) basically pry off... start at the bottom, remove the "holy $hit" handle and the surround for the door latch... unscrew the lock knob... MAN, I kinda forget how to do E30 stuff when I haven't seen it in two months. Help me out Justin.

Okay, so I'm stuck again... I can't seem to figure out how to take out the accelerator pedal. anyone ever done this?

take the E-clip off the top of it and let the pedal fall forward... I'm not sure, but it should be fastened to the floor behind where it's hinged.

Thanks for your help

This ended up being a bigger job than I orginally anticipated. Luckily I have time on my hands and a spare car.

If its possible, some pictures of your finished product would be good.
