335is Interior Refresh

gunner1883 · 02-19-2019, 04:00 PM

With my new-to-me 335is, I had some minor interior touch-ups needed.

1. The start button bezel was worn. I found a cheap carbon fiber-like decal on Amazon.
2. The chrome surround around the shifter was scuffed and one of the only chrome pieces in the entire interior. I ended up doing the chrome piece on the shifter itself, as well. I used color match paint to match the pieces to my exterior.
3. The steering wheel had been massaged by someone with filthy hands. It also needed a flat bottom, because race car. After exploring eBay, I found a decent wheel from Ukraine.

Looks really good. If no secret how much was the steering wheel?

Looks nice. I just bought one of those start/stop rings off amazon, at $6.88 shipped it was hard to say no.

Total purchase was $319 USD. However, it came with a lot of stuff I didn't need.
1. Multi-function buttons, resold on eBay for $65.
2. SCT paddles, resold on eBay for $70.

So net, $184

Looks good!

I've seen the Ukraine seller on eBay also. How is the quality and how long did it take to arrive?

Good quality. Terrible experience with shipping. Got caught in customs once and returned. Overall it took about 8 weeks.
