Post pictures to let us see what mods have you done?

I’m going to be redoing my interior after New Years for a change. At the present it’s wrapped in KPMF gloss black with Hexis tiffany blue (I haven’t done the door handle trims yet but that will all be getting done at the same time when it’s time for a change) and the steering wheel trim in VviVid forged carbon film and Oraguard 270 gloss PPF on top for gloss effect

Not much, other than wrapping and metal accents. It's bad enough that BMW adheres to Henry Ford's 'you can have any color you want, as long as it's black' point of view, but then to use wood grain trim that's equally dark isn't just German dreary, it's positively Russian dreary. I prefer the English look:

That doesn't look very 'English' to me - the steering wheel in on the wrong side for one - and that wood trim looks crap

Don't have a picture right now but I replaced the silver plastic trim piece on the gear selector with the CFRP BMW one. I like how it looks and feels. I left the silver trim piece at the base of the gear selector but there's also a CFRP replacement for that too

Ooo! You need to post up some pictures of the steering wheel. We all love custom stuff

The wood trim is certainly different. Thanks for sharing

It's better in person, as it has a grain to it like real oiled hardwood. I previously had a high gloss wood wrap, grew tired of it and did this. That's the nice thing about wrap, you don't have to live with it forever, you can change it like a woman changes the color of her hair.

It definitely is! You can remove the wrap to put it back to factory look when selling the car. I’ve done a Cadbury Wispa chocolate inspired theme for the interior of my e90 when I had her. Was a crazy idea during our first lockdown… too much spare time back then

....I'm guessing you'll also be changing the exterior "aqua-greenish" trim piece as well (find that it doesn't compliment the colour of your car, to the fullest)?

Hhmmmm I don’t know yet, I quite like the Tiffany blue but we shall see what colour would you recommend I’m going for?

There are some on the e85/e86 Z4 forum who profess their love for the 'maritime' trim that was available...and I know it's good to have different opinions/like, but errr...

[boosted14]

Here are pics of mine. All blue stainless steel

Niice! It goes with the colour of the interior really well! It gives it that nice retro feel

That’s cool, the blue stainless look reminds me of blue chrome! I like the LED sills 👍 was it hard to wire in as I’ve been look at them?

[boosted14]

no they were pretty easy to wire.

Personally, I wouldn't put anything...as it's difficult to pair an accent colour (aside from black), which wouldn't make it pop, so to speak, but it's a bold move with the "tiffany blue"....if you like it - - keep it!!

It takes away from the bodylines of the car, as in my case it's the first thing I noticed, in my opinion, but again to each it's own!!
