I'm by no means an expert, or even a mechanic, but I've done a couple of headliners on BMWs in the past.

It's not too complicated to change the headliner in a BMW unless they changed the way they do things recently. The fabric is on a semi rigid backing and comes out all in one piece. The hardest part is usually removing or installing it without making a crease, but this is much easier on a wagon or SUV since it has a large hatch. The airbag buttons are usually just covers that pry off that hide a screw underneath, the actual airbags are not usually integrated into the covers themselves.

The only potential trouble areas I see are: The moonroof sliding fabric cover, the B pillars, and changing out any other parts to black such as seat belt guides and all the other misc trim.
