Item Interest

Hey readers, I had an idea to create a set of custom door panels for e90 e91, using some remanufactured M-Rain style fabric . My end goal is to make them for a bunch of different models. This was the first iteration and I think they turned out pretty well. Looking to see if there is any interest for them. Would like to get $450 for them but price is negotiable. Located in Orlando FL, shipping can be arranged.

Nice pictures can be found in the ebay listing below. Feel free to message me with questions!

That looks good.
Reminds me of the Acura confetti seats from the 90s. Would be great with some matching fabric seats.

Thanks! I think applying this logic to a bunch of post 2000s BMW's (or any brand) would look really cool. Working on f-chassis applications right now. Don't have the space to learn with seats right now but I would love to make a matching set!

I'm in central FL and the pick n pull yards here are full of E90's. Probably not worth shipping any.

E90 rear door cards can be used on E91s just a heads up. The only difference is the E91s with HK sound have a spot for the tweeters on the door panel.

brandonwhit97 · 04-19-2023, 03:42 PM

PhotoGuy87 yes, well aware. I have multiple sets of m3 door cards. But on an e91, the widow shape is different (the back upper corner is higher. So to fit the retactiable screens, I would need a left and right set of the screens and window upper trim where the hooks attach. Not sure if your can tell by images, the corner rounds off more on e90

TyroneShoelaces · 04-20-2023, 04:49 AM

My E91 has window shades. I have never put them up other than for the novelty of testing. My windows are tinted pretty dark, and my kids are big so they're pointless to me.

Even though the windows are shaped differently I still think the shades are the same. I'm pretty sure the top clips are makes up for the window shape difference. My E91 has shades and I have a set of E90 shade door panels that I can test fit for you think weekend to verify if the shade shape is different if you like.

Don’t worry about it. The phot with highlighted is e90, without is e91 part 10 is the main shade, part 11 is the tiny window shade

I am going to sell my wagon at some point soon and a N54 swapped manual wagon with a rebuilt title probably won't draw the BaT purists hopefully the car loaded with every option other than active steering and active cruise will help draw some top offers. While I never use them, it can't hurt to have the car as delivered other than the drivetrain.

brandonwhit97 · 04-24-2023, 09:54 AM

Ok, well, reach out when your red to sell cause I would be interested. (I’m doing a very smilar build, once I send my head out, I’ll start assembling my n54 and do the swap

BluAnimal · 05-24-2023, 06:12 PM

BUMP Price drop to $450. Looking to get rid of these to fund creation of more

I can confirm that the shades are different shape.
I bought a set from eBay listed as coming from E91, but when I got them I noticed the curve.
I finally managed to get proper E91 shades. Now, I just need to source uppet clips and I'll be ready to do the retrofit.

OP, those door panels look great!
If I had a black interior, I would get these.
