Where is the best place to find an interior?!

I'm looking at E91's and see a lot with poor interior colours, I realise i'm going to have to make a sacrifice somewhere along the way to get the manual 335 but one thing i thought i could maybe swing in my favour is the interior...

Ideally I want either saddle brown or terra but might settle for red.

It would have to be m sport seats and i'd like the whole interior including carpets so the lot.

Where can I find such a gem and how much should i be looking to pay?

I appreciate there will be other factors if electric and heated but will have to cross that bridge when i come to it, i just want to know where to look and not get ripped off!

Naturally one might say The Bay, and that should always be considered and trawled for your specific requirements.

Put a wanted ad on the classified section here and other forums

Have you a scrappy or car breakers near you? Down here we have 'Silverlake' and they often have beamers in with varying degrees of accident damage.

Good start for you to do some browsing & telephone calls, but i am sure other people may come up with other ideas for you!

I've been on the bay and they all seem to be black!

I'm not that far from Silverlake so could be an option. I think you're right though a scrappy is the best option. Leave my details with a load and if they get anything to give me a call....

Also try Quarry Motors and Fabdirect. Both quite big breakers and may have something.

Also consider a nice retrim possibly for the existing interior with maybe an upgrade to the front seats to Perf ones of Recaros or something.
