Carbon Fiber Interior

SF_VR6 · 05-26-2008, 01:02 PM

I'm thinking about some tasteful OEM upgrades to:

- make my 135i a bit more special than stock factory
- keep the upgrades tasteful (not too personalized) and OEM for future resale

Carbon Fiber would be complimented with:

- Carbon Fiber mirrors
- BMW Performance Wheels
- BMW Aerodynamic Kit

nay

Keep in mind you have to remove the center console to replace the ashtray cover and trim.

corpsman · 05-26-2008, 01:53 PM

Does it improve performace?
I did not think so.

BMW Dreamer · 05-26-2008, 07:59 PM

I love the CF interior kit, spoiler, diffuser, mirror caps, sweet.

BuddhaTB · 05-26-2008, 10:26 PM

YAY to Carbon Fiber, but Booooooo to BMW's price on the CF interior kit.

1Ronnie · 05-26-2008, 11:11 PM

Yet again ... do what you want ... I do like CF, but not enough to pony up for it. But then I bought Sedona Red and Coral Red, and that appears to be a sin with a number of people. It's your car ... make it yours and enjoy !!

Kris · 05-26-2008, 11:12 PM

def yay! i love the look and wish it came standard. I hope to change it over at some stage from alu to carbon

morscode · 05-27-2008, 12:13 AM

I love the look. I'm definitely going to be ordering the kit.

WhiteOne · 05-27-2008, 02:02 AM

If the gloss black is to sparkly, CF will be the fix.

ScottyGams · 05-27-2008, 10:34 AM

i love the carbon fiber (minus price). i just don't know how many interiors it will look good in. black is ok, but i have savanna beige. Don't think the compliment each other too well...

BMW Dreamer · 05-27-2008, 08:09 PM

YAH the CF parts are not cheap, but a Sedona red/Coral leather 135i costs $2k more then an Alpine/blackette 135i. Spend your money on what YOU want.

I will get the interior kit, because I LIKE seeing it. Thats where I WILL be when driving. The exterior parts are for other people to see. Sure I will get the CF mirror caps and spoiler, but after the interior kit. But these are my choices.

Yea, I might do that or remove the black trim and have it painted real piano black.

WhiteOne · 05-30-2008, 07:07 PM

That might be less expensive and quite unique.

alanchan · 06-12-2008, 01:34 PM

does anyone know there is such a thing as a silver color CF interior trim?
