BMW E46 330i ZHP Silver Cube Trim

[danewilson77]

Not mine. Ran across this on Ebay. This is what I paid for mine, and it looks to be in good shape.

Just a heads up.

Damn, that trim is expensive. Is it worth the switch from black to silver?

About $800 for all new pieces.

Damn.

I got mine from E-bay for somewhere near $300, and I thought that was expensive at the time. It's worth it if you want it, I think. To me, it was perfect and I'd have paid more in retrospect.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Given how much this stuff usually goes for, I think that's a fair price.

What's a fair price for the black cube? $250? It shouldn't be too expensive if it's traded out right?

[danewilson77]

$250 is pretty good. I saw two sets on Ebay. One was $259.00 for sedan and $299.00 for coupe....I believe.

How is the silver going to look in. My grey leather interior? Black kinda stands out nice but you bastards got me interested.

Yours is one case I prefer black cube for the reason you stated. Silver works in black interior as it breaks up the monotony; black cube does that in yours IMO.

[danewilson77]

hehe......dunno.

Buy this and re-coupe half your money if your happy with it.

If you shoot your interior, maybe one of the photogs can attempt a PS on it, to give you an idea.

Agreed. Although changing it out of sheer boredom could be a good idea - I dislike the silver cube with the grey leather the most, out of all interior color combinations. Black works well everywhere, but I think the styling is subdued a bit compared to silver. Silver screams sportiness while black is like more the professional/mature styling IMO.

[danewilson77]

echo....buy the silver cube now. Dhu ett.

Then, swap out interior to black.:shifty

Done. El Finito.

It's not too bad from the driver's seat. Sometimes change is good in itself!

My old 330i ZHP had grey leather with silver cube

Well after driving this new car, I can say silver cube will be getting pulled.

Black leather in this car, fwiw. Too distracting for me.

Will have alcantara later tonight... :shifty

Did I miss you buying a new ZHP?

[BavarianZHP]

Yep, Jon got another Alpine White! He's been trekking the country. CONGRATS to him! I think he posted in this thread by accident.

[echo46]

The silver cube actually looks pretty good but not sure if good enough.

Thank you and no, no accident. I was just putting my opinion in on the talk of black vs silver cube, now that I've officially owned both.

Well, if you ever think of parting with that silver, you have plenty of takers here!

It will definitely happen.

Why is all the silver cube on the market for sedans? Us coupe guys like silver cube too...I wish I had bought a sedan.

Because sedan. :biggrin

Coupes get better lighting: adaptive xenons that don't burn out, LED tails, and clears!

Still... Sedans are better. :cool
