Hahaha. If I was going to go non oem fabric, I'd like to do it on non OEM seats. Someone find me a set of beat to shit recaro a8s and a spare back bench.

[Neubauten]

So there is really no OEM ///M Rain left?? I just see that they are out of stock but I am willing to get a bit more...

[BimmerBreaker]

I have an complete ebrake boot with frame and a shift boot without frame. Could still be used for a template I'm guessing, as the leather is nice and crispy. I definitely don't need them

Awesome - PM'd

Man this just keeps getting better!

It has only just begun

Someone said purple and you came running

I got more pictures of the Blue M rain and it looks quite Purple actually...



I'm going to get the "blue" fabric pictured above made. I think I want to use that in my interior, it will look great in a Velvet Blue car imo. Getting a sample sent to me now and once it's in hand I'll have a better idea of how it really looks... but it looks like the perfect fabric for my car

Honestly it is looking like we will be making another batch sooner rather than later because a lot of people reached out that they still wanted the Rain. But - and this is very important to note - this new run will be from the factory we are currently working with, not the factory who made the original M rain reproduction. Quality will be comparable but I expect minor differences. I have some cutoffs and segments available of the original M rain for anyone who wants to match that specific material.

Thanks for this news!
I finished re-trimming the rear panels, and it looks great! However I need to do the front door panels too because the old fabric colours look quite faded compared to the new fabric.

[BimmerBreaker]

Maybe of interest to some...

I just found out that "Blue" M rain I mentioned earlier, actually originated in an E36 Individual that was... Techno Violet!



I'm definitely going to get it made, even if only to use it in my interior. My Z3 will use this fabric with alcantara bolsters and contrasting purple stitching. Little alcantara/purple stitching details throughout the cabin... should be very nice.

I have a few segments left. Contact me with what size you are looking for and I'll try my best to accommodate.

Please do share some pictures of your finished rear panels as well I'm sure others would love to see some finished results!

That looks so good!

[BimmerBreaker]

That looks so good!

Thanks! Still learning but I love how that cover came out

Got some new things coming... just got the sample of that purple/blue M rain in hand. Pictures absolutely do not do it justice and it is a bit faded, but we will be able to get the right colors from it.. Way more subtle than M color fabric, but still with that cool pattern... I love it.





Also making some bags and working on other stuff until I have the skills to do seat covers.

Won't be very expensive, thinking like $30 or so for these drawstring bags. Want to make backpacks too, already made a few toolbags for myself I've been getting good use out of.

Follow us @ascfabric or facebook.com/bmwfabric for more details!

We are now in stock with our Off-color M rain

25% off our off-color material with the code "BACK"
Priced cheaper than $55/yard with this coupon depending on quantity you buy!

Great for upholstering the couch in your man cave, the race seats in your track rat or anything else you can think of.

Regular M Rain is hopefully on the horizon. We've had some difficulties with doing a second production run but its coming...




I also have gym bags I'm making and selling
There is introductory pricing right now on these as well - $29 for a limited time

M Rain shift boots and e-brake boot will be available soon as well
I am also looking to make other products - so if you recommend something I end up making - I'll give you one free (and maybe more, depending on what it is)

Starting today all future orders will ship the 19th. I'll be on vacation.

I just placed an order for more black M rain, and a few other things

Looking forward for those shift and parking brake boots

Looking forward for those shift and parking brake boots

Have been waiting on someone to test fit but just realized I have my own M3 now. I should be able to get those done in a few weeks.

For one time only, we are offering this new run of M Rain at our original group buy pricing
$95/yard for 3+ yard orders
Group buy ends August 21st

M Rain Group Buy

[bimma360]

Super excited to get my hands on that MCross fabric. Will also order some of the suede bolster fabric when it comes in. Can't wait!

It's on it's way to me, hopefully won't take too long to get through customs. The seude fabric will be a bit behind the M Cross but it will be here soon as well.
Love your E30 interior, can't wait to see what you do with the M Cross

I'm finalizing the pattern on the shift boots to make sure they have the best fitment possible. It's a little harder than it looks!

Group buy is still going on for the M Rain! The price will really not be this low again so if you've been waiting for it, now is the time to get it

[mitch500]

Does anyone know how many yards to do the middle of the seats in the M-Rain (front/back seats) and the centres of the doors cards? And then how much suede or alcantara to do the seat bolsters and the rest of the door cards?

I know it says 5-6 yards in the first post but how much of each fabric?

I want to get this right before I order.

The 5-6 yards is for the seat center material, M rain for example. Though I think 5 is really all you need based on talking to a few customers who have completed their interiors.

I'm actually just sold out of Alcantara. The new material I'll be getting in is also a different width, so I can't even tell you off hand how many yards it will need. It also won't be here before the group buy ends unfortunately, but should be available shortly afterwards.

[MarketMaster]

Do you have rub wear ratings for the bolster material compared to the Alcantara?

What about the seat bolster suede? When will that be in stock?

So 5-6 yards for seat centres front and back.

Are people using the seat bolster suede on the door cards or the alcantara with the foam stuff on the back?

Sorry for all the questions but seems to be lots to choose from.

My schedule frees up this week so that is going to give me some time to finalize the shift boot pattern

I will try to obtain that information. It looks almost the same as Alcantara in texture and color but it does feel a bit different to the touch. I think it's a good cheaper alternative.

Yes 5-6 yards for seat centers front and rear AND 4 door panels. If you do not want to do the 4 door panel inserts in the matching seat center material, you should be fine with 4 yards for just 4 seat centers. Most people buy the M fabric for the door inserts too, you'd be the first to use Alcantara in the door panels as far as I know. Not really sure my Alcantara will work for door inserts anyways due to the complexity of the curves.

Seat bolster Alcantara and the alternative bolster seude material will be back in stock by the end of September hopefully, but shipments have been taking a lot longer than expected recently so can't guarantee that. I'll post here once its back in stock and also on facebook, facebook.com/bmwfabric

[BimmerBreaker]

Three days left for the group buy. There is a chance this will be our last production of M Rain, and there is a 100% chance this will be the last time it is priced like this. Group buy ends August 21st!

And in other news... the project that started this whole thing, Z3M seats in M fabric. Our test seat was in M cross, but my final set will be in M rain with purple stitching. Have lots of ideas to tie in the rest of the interior in a really cool OEM+ way. Can't wait to finish it and share it with you guys

[notMpowered]

That looks absolutely spectacular. Thanks again for making this happen. It's very cool that people have the opportunity to get this stuff.

Thank you man, it means a lot to hear that. It's been a labor of love and really it was you guys who made this happen... if it wasn't for you guys I'd have a room full of unsold M rain and that'd be no good

[Chamberlin]

Wish I could figure out a way to make it work with Oregon beige, but that ain't happening!

Maybe I'll be able to source the correct leathers to make you a proper seat cover...
