Lead on OEM fabric and material?

[UNHCLL]

I got something better planned. But thanks for the generous offer. And yes I would drive to the border, but then your state police would think we're doing something illegal and have us sent to Gitmo.

Not my state... I live in TAX FREEEEEE NH. ;)

I'll sweeten the deal, and throw in a Sterling Silver 318is with a blown head gasket that overheated. :o

$3200 you can have my complete M3 houndstooth.

I'll even drive it south of the MA border for you to pick up so you don't have to drive into your feared state. ;)

:p

I've got the blue houndstooth in mine with some wear spots in it and the guy I bought the car from said that I could still get the fabric from BMW.

Okay. Now go and try to find it. I wish you luck, I've been searching for quite some time. Oh and bring a fat wallet if you walk into a dealer asking for fabric, if they have it at all. They'll just say they don't most likely...who knows.

As an update goes, I got samples from that site, and all of them were off. None matched the Houndstooth, and like Kevin mentioned in the picture, those are for the centers.

tricked 323i - how much would i be looking at to get that interior you posted, but in black? cloth, no leather. it would be a full interior for 2-door coupe.

LMK!

You can take this to PM's, he is more responsive there.

And no updates as of yet, I'm in no rush though.

It seems possible to order this fabric from the dealer. Let's hope we find a lower cost option.

Hey, I think we have the same interiors... and the same wear areas. I'm interested in working together on this, if you are.

The side bolsters are tricky because they have this 45 degree pattern that nobody seems to have.

Yep, thats why I made the thread. I have two leads at the moment who are looking into other sources. Hopefully we can dig up more so I can get some of this for my side bolsters.

Lame.

[Tricked 323i]

I think we have a winner!

EDIT: Just sent them info to get samples. Hooray!

I have all those they are not the same as the pic you showed me. See all the small 45° lines in your bolster. All the diagonal ones shown are used in the center sections like the seat below.

Whats better is I now know that 0211 is Houndstooth based on the piece of paper I found underneath my back seat. So it is official.

[BDSax]

holy shit that site is awesome. even have matching spray on stuff.

When the tint shop ripped my side bolster I was searching around for the same fabric, http://www.worlduph.com/bmw5.htm is about $100-115/yard shipped IIRC.
