I actually just reupholstered the headliner and pillars on my wife's car. It's obviously not what you're doing but the process is similar. Really plan out any compound curves because those are easily the biggest pain. And it was already mentioned but I'll second the idea of leaving plenty to wrap the ends. You can always trim away if you've overcompensated.

I'm a big DIY guy and I'm glad I did this. I learned a lot. But I'm never doing it again. It was a lot of work.

Yeah I my only fear is removing the console - the rest is cake - the actual wrapping itself i'm not worried about whatsoever

I'm going to get some assistance with the console from some smarter folks - the others are very basic. BMW has it where these panels snap out. It's not a big deal and the results look fantastic - I'm good with the wrapping in and of itself. I've done similar and I have a lot of intelligence in my hands.

Dont be afraid of it...just try. You won't mess anything up. If it has a wrinkle, just peel it off and start again. The rolls of this stuff are relatively cheap.
