1986 325E Preservation

[MSGGrunt]

I sent away the two front door panels, door pulls, door pockets, kick panel speaker covers, the rear side panels and the parcel shelf to be professionally recovered in matching leather.

The odometer stopped working shortly after buying the car and having an accurate instrument cluster/odometer is something I had to have especially on a car with such low documented miles. I sent the cluster away to Bavarian Restorations for a full rebuild of the cluster to include new SI board batteries, re-soldiering of everything and new odometer gears. They did an amazing job.

What do you mean when you say piping on the seat?

[superj]

at some of the stitches, they put a thin piece of piping following the seams.

Hell yes, love this. Burgundrot is the best color on the planet and that interior is a perfect combo.
Keep doing what you're doing.

Like on the bolsters?

[superj]

well, along the edges of the bolsters, along the part where your thighs go to the pedals, stuff like that. and around the headrests. google some old hot rod pics and check the interior out. they do lots of piping on those types of cars.

[superj]

they kind of outline the sets with piping

Roughly how much does it cost to have a cluster refreshed like that?

Thanks
