Yup, Coby Wheel. A guy at M3forums did the shift knob. I think Mike at CW was talking about eventually doing shift knobs too.

The brake handle is from BMW but I don't see it listed at Realoem anymore. It came on the CSL and Comp Package M3. I see Leatherz still has it listed though....

Depends on where the car was purchased. I dont see anyone from Florida needing heated seats, for example.

I've seen lots of BMWs without heated seats.

[johnrando]

Bill, your center console looks very different than mine, can you post a pic that focuses on that more, I'd like to see it better? Thanks.

[billschusteriv]

Sure! Any specific area you'd like to see? The console is/has non-NAV business CD, smoker's package, sunglasses case, multi-button (DSC, heated seats, hill descent assist), auto/step trim, cupholders, oddiments tray, coin holder, rear ashtray, and no armrest.

That photo was taken by the PO and downloaded from the eBay ad when I bought the car. I liked the way the interior looks in that picture.

[johnrando]

[billschusteriv]

http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo223/cruisineuro/DSC_1324.jpg

[az3579]

More so the tray area.

It looks different because you have nav and he doesn't. On cars with nav, the climate control is put into the slot where the sunglasses holder is for non-nav equipped vehicles, effectively eliminating the sunglasses holder for nav-equipped cars. A nav-equipped car has a much busier center stack because of the lack of a plain cover for a sunglasses holder.

We both have ZHPs, but my center stack looks exactly the same as Bill's, because I don't have nav.

Did the aluminum trim come with a car or did you swap it out for the silver trim?

[tracerit]

those are some nice nice interiors! question for those with the alcantara seats, are they much softer to sit on compared to the leather? the most comfortable seats i ever sat in were from an 07 civic ex coupe. sunk right in. i'd imagine cloth is much softer than the leather?

[danewilson77]

They are exponentially more comfortable than the leather. I moved from leather sport seats to these.

[Rovert]

I don't like BMW Dakota leather much. I'd so rather have ///M Nappa Leather! It's so much softer and finer. I like the softness of BMW's pleather more than my leather that I condition and clean on a regular basis. Cloth is even software....how does alcantara wear on ZHP seats?

[danewilson77]

.......how does alcantara wear on ZHP seats?

Not great. IDK...I have ~135k miles on mine...and I have some drivers side bolster wear...bt thats about it. So...I guess pretty good.

Let's just say it like this; when my alcantara wears down too much, I'm having my bolsters reupholstered in regular cloth.
I don't like how alcantara wears one bit.

[gr330zhp]

Mine really isnt wearing a crazy amount. The way I have seen it, any sport seat will wear incredibly on the bolsters. My moms 2011 S4 has 7k miles on it, has been Leatheriqued twice already and it is showing wear already.

I sooooooooooooo wish BMW had done alcantara down the center and cloth or leather on the sides much like the B5 S4, much like below. I know quite a few people with that interior with even 140k miles and barely any wear on alcantara or leather

^ that probably works better ergonimcally but aesthetically those seats are FUGLY

[az3579]

Only because they're blue. They actually look very good in person.
A friend of mine has a Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. About 60k miles on it. Also has the alcantara centers, and there's 0 wear on them.
I agree with the alcantara centers; that would have been a MUCH smarter move.

[Rovert]

Yep...u rub the outside sides of the seat. But your butt usually stays put in the middle of the seat. Unless you're pulling more than 2G's per corner...LOL

that kind of wear is probably from how you get out of the car. You kinda sit on the edge of the seat with your legs out and then push off. I sometimes do it without thinking but I usually catch myself and push off the door sill so it doesn't mess up my seat

[llll1l1ll]

Yeah, that's how the PO probably got out of the car. I enter and exit properly.

[Rovert]

I've learned how to hover as I exit. I don't touch the seat, steering wheel, door, or even the ground. Yes I'm that special. But my car isn't.

[webster]

even with that kind of wear, i mean who notices except the person driving (theoretically, you 99% of the time)? and it doesn't affect how comfortable it is...

so the alcantara wears somewhat poorly. still feels great. and it's pretty easy to maintain if you try worth a flip.

i may be somewhat biased (heh) but i don't miss leather one bit :)

[Gordo_GT]

I took these photos right after I purchased the vehicle, about 1.5 years ago. I have since switched out the floor mats for black floor mats.

You are right. I am the only one who notices that the seat is worn that way. Nobody else has. And I, too, do not miss leather at all. Cloth is where it's at!

I'm likin' the LED interior lights more and more every time I see it. Was thinking of starting off with the LED license plate lights as I'm still on the fence about those, and then moving up to the LED interior lights. Depending on how red it is, I wanted to get the red, but only if it's close to the stock amber interior light color.

This is only on when I have my parking/headlights turned to on.

I believe Coby doesn't do seats...
If you wanted those kinds of seats, you'd have to buy the material and have an upholstery shop reupholster your interior for you. Or, you can buy the OEM seat cover, though I don't know how much work is involved with that.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess another item for the wish list.

Nice seats in that ///M! Reminds me of the E30 M with the sport evo interior!

[yura]

I don't like BMW Dakota leather much. I'd so rather have ///M Nappa Leather! It's so much softer and finer. I like the softness of BMW's pleather more than my leather that I condition and clean on a regular basis. Cloth is even software....how does alcantara wear on ZHP seats?

Alcantara is great, but personally I prefer leather. My alcantara interior is in pretty good condition, but I'll likely pick up some black Nappa Leather seats from an M3 sometime in the next year.

[coby1]

yea the M-Texture Fabric is impossible to find(tried) but cost wise just for the regular Alcantara fabric and time that would be involved to do the the seats/shipping etc. would not be cost effective.

[Washburn]

when my Alcantara parts wear off, I am gonna have just those parts wrapped in leather... then I have leather/cloth combo, which i know I'll love.

Also, why is your airbag so shiny?

Gauges are a kit from LeatherZ but point is moot as IIRC it's NLA. You would have to make your own custom gauge pod

How is that the mat "rides up"? I have BMW rubber mats in my 325. With the supplied floor hooks, there seems no way the mat can move. Mine hasn't moved a micron in more than two years. I actually drilled out the holes a bit to make removal easier, but once slipped onto the hooks, they are still rock solid. Nice interior BTW.

since we're talking about this... when I bought my car I didn't even have the velcro ones. I had to go buy them from the stealership

Seems like anchors in the all wx would be a little counterproductive, considering they need a......hole.......to work

the are near the back and the hole is raised so water would stay in the mat.

To be quite honest, now that I go back and look for them I don't see them listed on their own. They were one of the pics when I clicked on the floor mats.

Here is where I was: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330i-M54_3.0L/Interior/Floor_Mats/ES196751/

you can see them in the 4th pic, the only ones I saw listed specifically on their own were these (not the same):

Thanks!. I don't have the anchors.

The anchors are a must. Super cheap. If you go to the dealer and tell them you need the all weather anchors, they can magic them up for you.


I duuno though....are there actual holes in the "All Weathers"? Can't remember.....

There are holes in them. As someone already mentioned, they are raised so there is no problem.
My mats are E90 mats, and look exactly the same as the E46 mats. I had to punch my own holes in them because they didn't align up with the E46 anchor positions, but even then I still have no problem with "weather" getting on my carpet because the fit is very tight. The mat doesn't move a single millimeter.

[nike001]

Even on the leather? I thought that trick was for Alcantara only! I need to do that as mine's a bit shiny.

I wouldn't use it on leather seats. As DW has said before, the Magic Eraser is like a super fine sand paper that takes the top layer off of things. So, when you use it on a leather wheel.. you're taking the top layer of grease/leather off. I'd be skeptical to use it on a wheel. And if I ever did, I'd later on a lot of leather protectant/rejuvenator on afterwards. If you're looking for something to use on your seats, I'd recommend just doing some Leatherique.

[Rovert]

I used magic eraser years ago on this already shiny wheel. While it makes the shine go away my drying cloth does the same when it's damp and I just grip it around the wheel while turning. Both methods conclude with a shiny leather look after one drive. But my cloth method only takes 20 seconds to do. My wheel was born to be a shiny star?? LOL

Good luck finding on! Took me awhile to find one under $200.

[zj96sc]

Yeah, I pretty casually watch eBay, but it hasn't been a high priority. It started because i wanted the homelink since my 2nd ZHP didn't have one, but the opener I've got wedged into my ash tray pretty well so I kind of stopped considering spending the money on the upgrade.

its like an adult baby seat. You are snug in there. i have a waist of 32 and I feel very snug. Friend with a waist of 38 doesnt fit at all. He cant even get inbetween the bolsters. The only issue is really getting out of the car since the bolsters are very high and gives very little room between the steering wheel.

^ that is one shiny interior, sir!

[zhpnsnv]

I don't know how I missed this thread.

Brett - sorry I missed your shout out a few pages back. I tell tales of your interior around campfires and dream about it when taking NyQuil.

I can't decide two things: black with silver dot bmwpedals, and the performance shifter. Who has these bmwpedals?

[kayger12]

Performance shifter looks too modern for the ZHP interior, imo. ZHP knob looks like it's at home...

I do......they work great. I never have gotten a decent picture of them though.

That would be nice, but then I'd have to stuff the excess somewhere. That one in my car is only about 5" long. It just goes to the Garmin Bluetooth module mounted on the kick panel. It would look a lot better if I'd just remember to cut the red tag off of it one of these days. :-)

Nothing special.....I'm on the fence about getting an alcantara ZHP knob.

just took this one. pardon the dirt. put the new floor mats in...i think they would look better in anthracite grey. oh well. they are nice and thick though. and they don't move. my old mats were starting to fall apart and the velcro circles were coming off so the mats would slide all around. not anymore.

:hi It's all good, Marc. You are a busy guy - not to worry! Yes, my IR over NB w/ Silver Cube mistress has that effect on people. :biggrin Hopefully she will be making an appearance at Mafia Meet Round 2.

Interior looks snappy......Webby.

[zj96sc]

FYI for those of you with velcro circles tearing loose, just pull them all the way off, remove all of that loose foam backing from the bottom of the mat, and glue the velcro circles back on with fabric glue. I've "renewed" the life of 2 sets of mats this way. Keeps them in place at least.

How do they stand up to constant removal and replacement, such as a weekly interior vacuum? I might do this if durable enough.

Not a phone, it's my Garmin GPS with the EcoRoute Bluetooth module.

I actually don't even own a cellphone. I do have a work cell though that I can use for personal calls so as long as I have that I'll probably not get one of my own. No texting or internet allowed though but I can live without that. And they just gave me a new 2012 Chevy Colorado at work that came with Bluetooth. Makes things much nicer with all the in town driving I do.

I'm with you on this one.

Oli77......you posted this in the wrong thread bro............

LMAO, you made me go up and down and up and down and ... wait, he's pulling a Dane on me.

Thanks Bro (had just finished the vinyl seat repair and had the Aerospace 307 stuff handy so I went all over the darn thing).

Very nice! and very tempting! That would sure look good together with some black and silver bmwpedals. :biggrin

[derbo]

im actually very surprised at how many alcantara interiors there are.. :)

[zhpnsnv]

Me too. I felt like when I was looking for my car there were none.

MrMaico - I'm gonna wait to see them in person at the sigfest. Honestly the best view of the silver cubes is from outside where they compliment the wheels really well.

[R0B]

Where are the details for sig fest? I plan on attending as well :)

[kayger12]

Looks great, Marc.

I'm on the silver pedal bandwagon. Balances the interior out, imo.

Just in case I haven't posted this pic enough times... ;)

new floor mats from ebay. i like how they look a lot more than the other ones. but i will admit they are a bit flimsy and you can tell the M logos are just glued on...but for $50 and free shipping i'm not that deep into them. and again, i think they look great.

Love that steering wheel Keith :wub

Going to get the remaining silver cube pieces this upcoming week to complete refreshing my silver cube interior. Only got door trim left. :) Some very lucky ZHP owner will be getting my old ones as a pass down...:thumbsup
