    anyone have a recommendation for shiftboot, e-brake boot?

    Previous owner's only changes to the car were some interior pieces and man, they are gaudy....

    Red leather wrapped wheel, red shift boot, momo knob, red e-brake boot.

    Looking to replace these asap... For the steering wheel, I am looking for a oem one that is smaller in diameter, but I think this is gonan take a while to find.

    I am really looking hard for a e30 m3 shift boot and e-brake boot in alcantara with frames if anyone has a recommendation, I would appreciate it! thanks!

            Just message him.

            I was the first to get them on this side of the pond, before he had an eBay site, and I did not pay anywhere near that for my stuff.

              "Stitched" here on the forum makes very high quality upholstery for E30s, including boot sets. You may have noticed his thread in the FS section for steering wheel re-wrapping.

              I recently ordered a boot set from him and was very pleased with the quality. The install required gluing, but the leather is very soft and high quality. Matches the texture of the console very well too.

              You may want to reach out to him - only problem is that he is very busy and often isn't able to respond.

                I bought a couple of sets from this guy on ebay:


                Inexpensive but two years on and they still look perfect in my vert. The shift boot has elastic around the bottom to fit snug on the plastic ring.

                    i'd like to chime in & also recommend alexander lenz (design-part) ... yes ... he's on the pricey side ... & it takes awhile to get your goods ... however ... i went ahead & had him do my whole interior ... the quality of craftsmanship is next to none ... can't say enough good things about alex

                        I think there is a template floating around here somewhere that you can actually make your own shift boot. Also, check out ChrisFix's youtube video on recovering a wheel... very inspiring. I'd assume the ebrake boot wouldn't be hard to manage either. Just putting that out there if cost is an issue.

                          + (whatever # we are on) for stitched

                          I got black on black and matches the existing E30 interior nicely. And the e-brake boot with an e36 e-brake handle really helps to make the interior a lot nicer looking.

                            That looks like the are vendor I got mine from. The quality is great and you can't beat the price
