Ebrake boots

[Rob]

I hate the rubber accordian crap that came in my 318, I'd like to upgrade. I know some e30's came with leather ebrake boots, but will e36 boots fit? They seem a lot more readliy available (cheap and used I mean)

any decently priced aftermarket alternatives?

Just use the OEM part from the e30 M3. That's what I have in my car and it looks great.

Why doesn't the boot fit very well? It seems all skrunched up, while the one in the post below looks really good.

I really dig the leather ebrake handle though! Where'd you pick that up at? eBay as well?

The leather ebrake handle is from a e36.

Slyder WTF were you thinking painting that console red? Fucking RICE!

Edit: Looks like your door panels are RED RICE TOO!

fucking gay ass shit right there.

Jordan,

I'm not going to get involved in a pissing contest over what is rice and what isn't. Just because my plan for my car isn't what you like...I'm not going to lose any sleep over. Quite frankly, I like it and could care less what anyone else thinks. However, I think your idea of rice is anything you don't like. :roll: I guess Hamann and their two-tone interior is rice. Anyway...I'm done.

LikeCDoos,

It is the stock boot off of an e30 M3. Black leather and OEM...so it matches. Only thing I haven't gotten so far is the e36 leather ebrake handle. One of the guys in my local club (Fred) has that handle with the leather boot...it matches perfectly and looks good.

Man, that brand new M3 boot looks sick. You can pick up used ones for $15-20 if interested.

PAINTED interior parts are RICE. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Dont buy a ebrake boot off ebay unless it is oem. I bought one and it fit horribly. It also had BMW FX stamped into it. Just say your self the hassel and go oem.

[franz]

This is how it's supposed to look. The pic above all raggedy, boot end should be tucked inside itself and pulled over the end of the handle leather end.

Don't buy Wheelskins from bavauto either BTW. I did and made them get me the M3 e30 one after that.
