Thanks. It's 20% all around, I definitely want to go lighter though.

I unquoted haha my bad.

Really? Mine is 20% on front and 15% on the back yet yours look way darker.

I have black seats too, that's weird.

It's probably just the contrast and angle of the photo. It's very hard to compare pics of tint. Way too many variables!

Finally scored on a set of mint E92 BMW Performance carbon fiber trim! Freakin' love this, makes the interior feel so much sportier and more "expensive," lol. Now all I need is a custom steering wheel.

LOL @ best car on site. No way, there are big heavy hitters on here than my little daily driven chariot :P

It was too good of a deal to pass up after getting good money for my glacier silver trim. I've been wanting CF trim for a while, but I hate the shitty weave on aftermarket ones and/or they're always north of $1000. So when this mint OEM kit popped up, including the rare non-m LCI center console in CF, I had to have it. I think MSRP is approx. $2K on this

M5 hasn't been touched since last summer

Methinks she deserves an ESS supercharger this winter for her neglect.

That's one of the best looking e92 I've seen. The rims and tint really compliment the colour of the car. That carbon fiber trim looks amazing. I wanna get the gloss black one in my car. How does it look compared to the original aluminum one, does it look stock or can you tell its a vinyl ?

dbworld4k · 07-15-2015, 02:24 PM

Some more of the interior now with the Electronic V1 Performance steering wheel and surrounding CF trim.

Thanks! I love the interior trim. It's one of my favourite mods. With the whole BMW Performance interior offerings for the E9x now installed in my car (steering wheel, trim, shift/ebrake knobs and boots), I feel the interior looks WAY more sporty/expensive now. It's definitely an amazing place to be vs. stock.

And the real gloss CF trim looks infinitely better than the vinyl people wrap trims in these days. CF vinyl trim looks disgustingly cheap and really looks out of place in a BMW, in my opinion. There's simply no comparison to the depth of the weave and the shine of real carbon trim. But then I even loathe the faux CF leather trim BMW offered on the E9X M3s...

dbworld4k · 07-19-2015, 12:50 PM

Had the interior professionally detailed and leatheriqued. The results are AMAZING. The seats have absolutely no grime or dirt build up in the leather grain. They look and feel new. Even the underseat carpets and rails were cleaned out. You'd never know my car has 107k miles, lol.

dbworld4k · 08-07-2015, 01:27 AM

No more one tire fires. Helloooo traction!

swagon · 08-19-2015, 05:20 PM

Cleeeaaaaan. AW/CR, BBS, 6MT. Does it get any better than this? I wouldn't touch the E92's exterior anymore. Subtle and not overdone.

Awesome Bimmers, mate, cool combo you got there.

NewToBeamer · 08-20-2015, 11:30 AM

How did you change the speedometer back lighting, it makes it look more up to date

dbworld4k · 09-09-2015, 01:30 AM

Continuing with some more custom touches: finally got these 335i steering wheel emblems made and installed! I love the uniqueness, especially how I loathe the plastering of M badges on M Sport cars...

Thanks! If I do change anything, it would be a more aggressive diffuser and go back to dual exit exhausts.

I had a friend modify the cluster with soldering white LEDs.

BoogeyMan'sBMW · 09-09-2015, 03:56 PM

Just went through you whole build thread again, no regrets

mazaa93 · 09-09-2015, 06:23 PM

Where did you get the Electronic V1 Performance steering wheel from?

I've seen them online for about $1,700 (USD) which is more than $2,000 (AUD)... Not sure if I'm willing to part with that much money in one hit

Car looks awesome though man, love it!

Reminded me to give my car a detail for summer, can't wait
