Never before seen interior trim!

mtkid · 09-15-2008, 07:29 PM

So, I wanted to get rid of the wood so I went to Richie of ******** Motorsport in Simi Valley. Guy does great work and hooked up numerous e90ers on the post. All in all, I loved the cf but I wanted something different. Something similar to the aluminum trim but rather unique. Sooo, I bought the dark gray metallic fabric that was wrapped over my wood trim. It looked exactly like the aluminum trim but darker. Anyway, here is what came of it. I love the new look but it's going to be some getting use to with a brighter trim. Let me know what you think!

aut0sh0cker · 09-15-2008, 09:24 PM

yeah who cares about the trim, look at that console! its like iDrive on steroids!

simp0man · 09-15-2008, 09:40 PM

I like that instead of the breast look on the dash...

MyE92 · 09-15-2008, 10:00 PM

Is your AC digitial now?

adamc514 · 09-15-2008, 10:18 PM

yes, I would like to know as well, where are your climate controls? and did you Sharpie the passenger door handle? The aluminum looks great BTW.

mtkid · 09-16-2008, 01:44 AM

haha, na the passenger door handle must have grease on it. The ac controls and heated seats are in the center console

e92phreak · 09-16-2008, 01:49 AM

XYR03 · 09-16-2008, 01:21 PM

mtkid · 09-16-2008, 01:22 PM

yeah I believe they're in my other thread from awhile ago. it should be under new navigation or something.

JoeyFiasco · 09-16-2008, 03:32 PM

almost didn't notice the new trim staring at the monitor.. what size screen where you able to fit in there? I am trying to go with something a little bigger than a 7 inch, but I don't have my car so I can't start ripping my center console out.. who made the custom bezel?

m2kev · 09-16-2008, 05:19 PM

nice monitor haha. I almost gearbox was a manual until I saw your brakes haha, thats tight.

gtrokin330 · 09-16-2008, 05:28 PM

that must be annoying to try and push buttons there with the shifter..and the angle...imo the positioning of the idrive screen is best

mtkid · 09-16-2008, 05:59 PM

na I love my navi. So easy to use and I got a short shifter so I can rest my palm on it and use the touchscreen controls. The bezel was fabricated by fd motoring...no longer in business. haha

Prissy · 09-16-2008, 09:40 PM

wowwwww

BMW MotorSport · 09-18-2008, 12:24 AM

Hey Michael, I'm glad you like your new interior. I think it looks absolutely great and much different than the regular BMW brushed silver aluminum trim. Thank you for your business and hope to see you at our future SoCal meets.

Hello e90David, I have those shift knobs in stock. Please let me know if you want one, it is very easy to change it.
