M Performance Carbon Trim Set
These are now available for under £450 so was thinking of doing this mod, however I have always been put off by the embroidered BMW M Performance lettering and the alcantara.
So for those who have this interior what are your thoughts and is it hard to keep the alcantara fabric clean |

Is this one?
I think it looks bloody awesome, wouldn't worry about the alcantara unless you're one to pop a can of fizz in a "devil may care" fashion on a regular basis. |

The embroidered lettering looks a bit amateur on the alcantara dash panel and was one of the things that put me off getting the trim kit.
I fitted the M alcantara handbrake boot , shifter surround and armrest lid and even after just eight weeks , and 500 miles, the armrest cover is showing a slight difference in surface finish where my elbow rests. I haven`t tried cleaning it yet but it does seem to attract / retain the dust much more than the original trim did, it does look nice though. Kenny |

The vast majority of carbon fibre is the shiny glossy type. Nothing wrong with it. But the open weave carbon fibre in the m performance kit is a bit different. That makes it a bit less common and I prefer the look and feel.
For me the m performance kit with alcantara is the way to go. |

Decided to try the performance carbon trim with my existing black gloss trim.
Not sure really so may have to purchase the remainder. |

I love mine. I have every piece available including the steering wheel. The only thing I have seen is the m colors faded. I just bought a set of sharpies and touched them up. Easy.

I think I could live with the alcantara having fitted the gear surround but not the embroidered BMW M Performance lettering. I wonder if its possible to get the main dash trim in plain matt carbon (No alcantara) to match the remainder of the trim pieces.
