How to remove E36 Trim - Please Help!

[m3f_Sliquepimp]

Hi All,

I'm after any advice on removing the trim on an E36 running from the front mirror to the back of the rear window on the car.

I've tried to indicate the piece of trim I'm talking about in this image.

Thanks in advance,

Jarrod

It's called the "B" pillar.

has anybody tried painting this trim??

Just got mine painted this weekend. The black coating was coming off and some surface rust appeared. The guy sanded/peeled it off primered it and painted it for $30. Not a bad deal...

Its really not so hard to take off, I read 100 stories saying it would break and bend but if your careful its not big deal. No tools needed.

I'm curious why it's not the B-pillar and why it's laughable to think so.
