    The good life at 120k: Phoenix Yellow S54 + Extended Leather + Livery Dromo

    To those following me on FB and instagram, you may have seen the various new iterations of my car in the past few months. Since purchasing it last April, I feel that there hasn't been a day where I haven't done something to it or made it better. Almost 25k miles later, here we are.

    After an entire year of waiting and probably two years planning, my extended leather interior project is finally complete. I took an old taninrot Z3 interior and had it stripped and recovered in Bentley Newmarket Tan. It's probably not to everyone's taste, but neither is Pee Yellow either.

    We also fitted our Livery Dromo wheels in 19x9 & 19x11 on the car. It's a tight fit, but with some front fender liner trimming in key places they work fairly well. They're available too if anyone's interested - feel free to PM me.

    Now onto the photos:

    That interior is beautiful. I swapped my black to black/sand beige, the contrast it creates is much better than just black IMO.

    Great looking car.

    Lovely interior. Would look spectacular in a red car (not that it doesn't look good in yours!).

    Too much win going on on this thread. Those wheels are phenomenal. You Livery folks are knocking these designs right outta the park!

    I think the Z4M wheel may be added back to my bucket list once again.

    For me that would be too much tan. I think the interior is absolutely perfect as it is.

    Two-Toned Black/Tan, exactly like the OEM Extended Leather Option. Would look phenomenal!

    Awesome. Love these wheels. While Phoenix Yellow is not to my taste, it's singularity makes an excellent canvas for showing off the many gorgeous Livery wheel designs. I've enjoyed following along. And excellent job on the interior I will add.

    Your interior in my Boston Green Coupe would be the stuff of legends!

    Seriously, you've done a fantastic job on your car- the photos made my day.

    That mileage is awesome. Wish I got to drive my coupe that much. But I hate putting miles on it when they aren't enjoyable. (Work, traffic, highway).

    The interior is sweet. I just love the awkwardness of Phoenix yellow.

    Hope you kept the original parts. This car may be a bit rare and desirable to be customizing to a point of no return.
    Said by a guy whole destroys most stuff he owns with modifications and use, but I try not to do so on the rare ones.
    The interior came out well. Nice work.

    It's either the best and most desirable car or the least desirable one with what I have done. I already sold off all the old interior pieces - never taking a dash out again.

    I think the increase in sex appeal offsets the decrease in originality, so I feel the value would be the same either way. Potentially higher this way to the right buyer, but also lower to some buyers. I certainly don't think there is any loss in value worth discussing though.

    FWIW I'd also love to see a two-tone Walnut seat with maybe some Walnut shift and e-brake boots just to tie it all together. Looks terrific as-is though, but a few little details like that may really push it over the edge imo! Maybe Andy @ LeatherZ will give you a big discount too since you are both extended Walnut M Coupe brothers!!!
