Hmm... I've never seen those symbols on the seats before?!

zachar3 · 04-01-2012, 10:01 AM

That can't be stock leather.... Not rough enough

jakuum · 04-01-2012, 10:01 AM

Hmm, those LCI halogens really do make a difference...edging more towards a swap now

They're leather seat covers from Schmiedmann

Car looks good OP

david.shain · 04-01-2012, 10:26 AM

Nice! I really like the steering wheel! And I have halogens, on my 2006 E90, but they are not nearly that nice! They are LCI with Halo's?

Mallard · 04-01-2012, 10:47 AM

thanks peeps

the seats and door cards are schmiedmann
and the wheel is from them also, they do a "custom" option where you can choose material and thread yourself,

The lights are LCI halogens yes

heres a better pic

and a couple more of some other stuff

-

and how it was in the beginning

Nice! New interior retrimmed with Schmideman (was that pricey by the way?), new exhaust, performance interior and spoiler, m3 bumper rep, LCI lights, black grills, rims.. that's a good amount of modding even for this forum!

would you have few more pics of the car from the side to show off those replica E60 sport package rims? I quite like them, never seen in 18 size.

are you guys also slammed with massive taxes in denmark like in Norway hence you took the 318i? I know Sweden and Finland aren't too bad (Sweden probably is best from Scandinavia).

I'd have gone for 318d next time and chipped it to 170hp or so. would give you a 320d basically. WIth 318i it's tough to have power in any form!

Mallard · 04-01-2012, 04:30 PM

thanks fella

Yep the list is quite long actually !
considering it was a bog standard "sales rep" spec vehicle when i got it , i think we´ve come a long way

the rear section is an OE PE item, sounds ok even for a 4banger

I retrofitted the light package inside so i get the reading lights for the rear pass.

The car is prepped for seat heating now, i just need the loom for the junction box to the seats and coding

I fitted a "speeder response" box, which does liven it up.. not a tune but does help a bit actually considering its got less hp than a car of the same engine volume from 15 years earlier..

theres loads of little details, but thats the beauty isn´t it :P
i changed the shifter boot out from my sport gearknob to the PE alcantara , and got a matching handbrake grip, and then the wheel matches with the stitching and stuff.

The mats are also trimmed in the same grey and black theme, which plays nicely with th CF trim

Its a labour of love really , and i know it wont be worth shit when its that time to sell, but thats not why we did it

The taxes here are ridiculous,
we average 180% on the sales price compared to the rest of Europe.
So there are VERY few nice cars , and those are mostly standard as they are probably leased, or have such a huge loan, they dont dare spoil the chance of getting max for it come sales time

But thanks for kind words fella

Z3->WRX->335 · 04-01-2012, 04:57 PM

looks great!!!!

freshnezzz · 04-01-2012, 10:38 PM

car looks clean

Whorning · 04-01-2012, 11:02 PM

can i have your interior trim?

Schm · 04-01-2012, 11:27 PM

Car looks really good OP, you don't need an M3 to mod a car cleanly!

f taxes in those Scandinavian countries, they really want to make driving powerful cars for the richest only and then put massive tax on petrol as well!

N0OS3 · 04-01-2012, 11:39 PM

very sharp looking upgrades... as mentioned before, those LCI headlights do wonders for de-aging the car.
