Yes, the leather dash option turns the lower dash black and that's one of the reasons some choose it, they feel there is too much red in the interior otherwise.

I think they're right when it comes to the 3 Series, but there is a special design characteristic of the 4 Series that, to me, makes the red lower dash a must-have.

If you look at the photos above and let your eye follow the aluminum accent stripe from the dash, to the front doors, and through the rear doors you'll see that there is a 50/50 split in the interior where the black headliner and black upper dash is the top 50 and then the red door cards and red lower dash is the other 50. You can see there is a black/red/black striping that runs in a circular fashion throughout the cabin if you look down to the lower door cards and the carpet.

I spent 3 years in an F30 and when you first get inside an F36 it's one of the first things you notice, this "wrap around" effect. My opinion, even though I like the quality bump from the leather dash you lose this cool BMW interior design effect and that was a no-go for me.

Yes, this mod replaces the plastic piece that has the hold in it with one that has no hole.

Check out this thread for details on what this mod entails.

Geez, what's with all the banned members? I really didn't see much justifying joewalton's ban ( I may be missing something). And, also, I've seen much worse than Mike_L's rant on this forum before and no-one got banned. Could anyone fill me in?

It was just a question of time. His posts were pretty much the same as they were on the other BMW forum where he is also banned. Maybe he should go to Roadfly and give it some life.

Joe's annoying as he will post the same shit on all F36 related threads but I personally don't think he should be banned for that reason

no reason to ban him, if you dont like what he had to say ignore him. at the end of the day, he was an enthusiast like us all, he just had his own way of expressing it.
