Feels good to actually get some work done. The old carpets were NASTY NASTY NASTY
What are you using for painting the headliner? Now that I have a spare headliner I was thinking of experimenting/trying to paint it black.

Speaking of headliners, I will be wrapping my e91 headliner in black fabric in the next month or so.
Well an Upolstery ship is going to do it.

I bought it second hand locally so I'm not sure where you could buy a new kit. I listed the part # in my previous post so you might be able to find a vendor if you search that.

Supposedly north american dealerships are not allowed to import the spare kit to sell

Have you already swapped the pillars or what is your plan for those?

Also going to wrap them.
I was quoted 20 per pillar and 120 on the headliner on my e90 a few months ago.
E91 shouldn’t be much more.
The upholstery shop said they had black fabric with similar texture to the oem.

I used vinyl/fabric spray paint to redo the headliner of my e30 in black. That was about 4 years ago, there's no fading, wear or chipping, everything looks like it did they day I finished it. And it's still soft

I'm not absolutely 100% how this will work on the e9x platform as the headliner seems to be a slightly more puffy material.

The only thing is, I did this in my car, without removing the headliner (because that's a huge hassle to do), so i had to tape the F out of everything to make sure there was no overspray. Overall, super pleased with the results

That is actually a lot cheaper than I thought! Nice find!

Nicely done.

Black (anthracite) interior pillars can be found relatively cheap in the European countries if you're down for searching. I wouldn't recommend finding shipping for the roof liner tho.

If anyone is looking for Lci e90 csl style CF spoiler, it’s finally available in the US! Tried to order from China last year and it was a hassle.
It has been added to my list of parts to buy

Picked up another one. My brother was on the hunt for a 6spd W204 C300 but the limited(overpriced) market led him back to a 6spd/rwd E90 and the same damn colour as mine:

09 E90 328i 6spd rwd :sport package(w/ shadow line/anthracite), cold weather, Logic 7 and xenons. Sadly its vinyl seats for now. Have bluetooth and a 3 stage manifold to go on.

if anyone thinks their BMW is difficult to work on, I challenge you to replace the alternator on a v6 ford escape.

Lol or anything on a V6 Escape! I replaced spark plugs thinking it would be cake. The front 3 are easy. The rear 3 requires removing everything 😂 Air box, throttle body, intake manifold, all electrical lines, throttle sensor/drive line, and more. Just to get to the plugs 😝 You would think it would be easy on a basic model Ford. And yes, that alternator is in a ridiculous spot on the 2002-2006 models.

You should create a new thread to ask this question. This thread is about what people have done to their cars today.
I do not know the answer to your question but I did put yellow lamin-x on my fogs today.
