I've briefly read that some people have converted their sagging upholstery to black. Any advice on this? Mine is from a '92, and is a light khaki color. It's different from other 3 series apparently, because I ordered new a pilar covers ( because the tabs that hold them on were all broken off and had been glued back on to many times) and the new ones are a darker khaki color. I don't really care about the color mismatch since it all needs to be re-done.

So, should to do the black conversion, I just need to buy black visors and a black sunroof interior trim piece right? Black O-SH!T handles too I guess... I can buy these from the stealer because they were on the M3's right?

Any recommendation as to sticking with the light khaki or switching to black?

i would go black. i just recently did my whole sunroof and roof lining in black. its kind of a PITA but it looks awesome. the roof wasn't too bad just gotta be careful and the sunroof was even worst because you have to take out the whole thing. hope this helps, if i can i'll take some pictures of my roof for you. i redid everything in a black vinyl so it almost matches the interior. you can buy the vinyl at any fabric store, it'll cost you like 10$ a yard and you only need like 3-4 for everything.

do you have pictures of your interior as is, currently? mine is tan too, also will be doing conversion to black, however my handles are black. for the visors, just paint them black with vinyl paint
