This really made me miss the good old days of long build threads on forums... now everyone just wants to post a pic on facebook or instagram and thats is...what a shame.

Thank you buddy.

It certainly is an ongoing build and I really like that it's all in one place too and people can still follow it all from start to finish (well it never finishes

).

As you say, it's hard to track peoples builds through FB and IG as it's just odd pics and no real timeline.

Where has the time gone lol.

So some updates of the dash. John has been beavering away but other cars and things got in the way so hence it's taken so long and guess that's also the issue when it's mates

.

Dash out yet again:

But hope you like the result as much as I do:

Full Nappa leather upper with Alcantara lower with the matching Performance stitching just at the ends. Didn't want the stitching everywhere so really please with how this has come out.

Also as it was all out I asked the rear section to be done in Alcantara too as found it was a little grubby due to the seatbelt buckles rubbing against it etc.

Think it's tied in nicely and used black stitch for the subtle effect:

Will get some pics up of the interior all back in.

Yeah think with the FB groups and IG etc people tend to post up more there but I still do love the forums and having a proper build thread which you don’t get on other social media platforms.

RajB · 09-23-2021, 05:12 PM

And with the post above I’ll add a few more pics up.

Couple of interior ones now it’s all back in but need better ones tbh.

Then a couple from Santa Pod as was the first show since 2019 lol:

Damn gorgeous rolling shots there

Which FB groups are good for 335 owners? I've tried multiple times to join the 3fivers but no response - heard it's good for part outs etc

Tbh I’m on the E92/93 group and then some of the generic BMW ones etc.

Not really on a specific 335 one though.

I’m on 3fivers but not heard of any issues joining etc.

Thank you for the kind words.

It’s certainty a labour of love and a lot gone into it. Still not done yet though as there’s always something else.

Great work mate, this is the best build of a 335i I've ever seen, the quality of the work, aesthetics, effort put is exceptional, deserve all the praise 100%
