Yes it was paint specifically for vinyl.

I would talk to a local upholsterer mate.

Thanks. The interior trim was quite simple to install, took around an hour to install. The door handles were a little hard to remove but aside from that they are all easily removeable.

Where did you get the CF trim parts from?

My car is on the boat and I've just discovered the dealer spec'd the wrong trim (I requested the brushed aluminium he chose hexagon), and if they don't take responsibility to make good I will go for the CF.

I ordered the CF parts from Pasco-HK @ http://www.pasco-hk.com/.

Pasco Recently restocked with new parts, that Harman Kardon Audio looks enticing

Thanks. The diffuser makes it look more aggresive, especially in Matte Black.

The M Performance floor mats finally arrived after a long waiting time. Going to source the M performance brakes next month.

Thanks to the guys at EleBest for the NBT iDrive; Can't wait to have it installed.
Added some pics of the iDrive being preconfigured.

Your car looks amazing inside out, the carbon fiber gear selector adds some nice contrast to the interior, I always thought the stock looked a bit cheap, would love to see the m6 carbon fiber paddleshifters on a 328i someday. Do you have any pics of how the carbon fibre mirror caps look on sapphire black ? I am thinking of replicating a few of your mods down the track for my 2012 sport line 328i hopefully ;d.

Thanks! I agree the stock interior looked cheap compared to an Audi or even a Volkswagen. Even though I had wood trim, it looked like plastic. Yep, can't wait to fit the M Performance Alcantara Steering wheels, the M6 CF Paddleshifters looks awesome prob going for the M3 style. I haven't done the CF Mirror caps yet, prob later down the track. Not sure if it would look good on Sapphire Black. Good luck with your mods!

knightsabers · 05-16-2014, 02:50 AM

Painted the steering wheel. Can't wait till the M Performance steering wheel arrives.

Knight sabers, car looks just awesome. Can I ask what was the cost/effort to replace the business nav system with the full widescreen version?

Thanks. The cost came for replacing the Business Nav with the new NBT came around $3000 all up with Map Activation, Touch iDrive Input, Smart App & Delivery. I would say it takes roughly 2-3 hrs, took me a bit longer.

The M6 Paddle shifters finally arrived. Can't wait to fit it on.

Not sure yet, as I'm waiting on the delivery of the wheel. Hopefully it's not too difficult, I'm going to get it installed at BMRAutowerkes.
