There are wires hanging out of your dash, bro.

The dye is from http://www.colorplus.com/ , Ms. Price the owner is a very nice lady. It gets used on Pebble Beach concours cars so I figure it's good enough for my E30 :).
This particular colour matches the Karmesinrot used in MY90+ instead of the Cardinalrot. It's actually Rolls Royce red - and the best colour balance rendition is in the map pocket.
Incidentally, doing this properly is very much not worth it. There's about 50 real man-hours of work in that interior and since it's not the first I do, it's going quickly compared to the previous ones.

Wires? What wires?

Oh you mean those wires?

How much did you use?

[nmlss2006]

It took 2.5qts of red to do seats F&R, door panels, rear panels, kickpanels, both consoles, knee bolster, glovebox, rear parcel tray and rear speaker housings.
It will take a little over an extra qt to do the main and back carpet + four floor mats and I think I'll give it a little more.
Then soffener, cleaner, etc.

lol @ the San Pelligrino bottles.

I'd like to see how well it holds up, especially on the center console.

[nmlss2006]

Centre console, door handles, door pockets, kickpanels etc have been cleared as well as dyed. We performed a series of involuntary tests (...) so far so good.
Edited to add: the dash is also dyed - black - and that has been possibly the best test ever: it will hold up to ages of normal use given what it's gone through the past four weeks. The dye protects the vinyl from UV nicely and it gives the dash a uniform colour again. More pictures soon.
