    Show Us Your Car's Interior

    Fellow Pelicans Bimmerforumers -



    We all know that the interior of a car can be just as beautiful and/or practical as the exterior, so we're asking you to show us what your cabin looks like! Did you keep the car's stock look or did you completely gut the interior? Are those gauges stock or did you add them for extra data logging?


    We look forward to seeing your photos below!


    Kudos to anyone that can guess which car's interior this is.

    I'll be excitedly adding some photos when my new Recaro seats arrive in a week or two But here are a couple shots of the current interior. Swapped all the original Pearlbeige (gag) with later Natur leather, added a nice center cup holder, lighted, adjustable-height shift knob, and an M-Tech 1 steering wheel. The center emblem is actually a cloisonne piece glued to a sanded-down plastic BMW emblem. It's a minor thing aesthetically, but I installed full factory premium audio. I also installed the rear headrests because my car had them from the factory

    I have a question about my seat upholstery material. My 03 three is said to be leather, but I'm doubtful. Mercedes Benz offered either leather, or plastic vynal, better known as MB-TEX. I haven't taken picture of my interior to post yet. But it is all original and in like new condition.

    MB-Tex seat upholstery is a form of vinyl material used in many Mercedes-Benz base trims. The material looks and feels a lot like like actual leather, and is occasionally mistaken with the real thing.

    Here's some shots of my 97 528's interior, only thing that hasn't been changed really is the upper dash. Originally it was a grey interior with non sport seats.

    I forgot to update with the new seats







    Need a couple small things to finish up the installation, but they're awesome.

    NOS?! That's pretty crazy. If you happen to know about an air compressor and/or pressure relief valve for the lumbar thing, let me know! The original compressor is a VDO and the valve is a little gray plastic thing.

    I see your Estoril Blue and raise you a Kyalami Orange...



    As far as I know this is one of the rarest standard BMW production interiors, it was only available on Z3 M roadsters and M coupes for a short period and only 36 Coupes and 22 Roadsters came with this interior in the US

    Incredible interiors - I haven't seen some of these color combos before. This has given me some ideas for my 135i Red Coral interior
