OP If u buy genuine I'm sure you are in for a big bill, alternatively getting an interior shop or the like to do it would be much cheaper. I was thinking about doing this as well.

I've been wondering this for a while too

I just want the dash cluster top bit mainly - mine somehow has scratches anyway (i know right, a part of the car you never touch?!)

IIRC that was for the LHD only, and they can't get RHD...? BMW Aus want something ridiculous like $3.5k for the CF interior bits

Nah get it from the uk (aka rhd) for sub 1k

Not much sub, but sub. Lol

dan_brooks · 09-18-2012, 05:42 PM

Oh no... The main thing stopping me from getting it was the 3k+ price tag! Have a link/dealer for the UK ones??

Actually, i think i got an email quote - will have to dig it up

Bmminiparts had decent pricing, schmiedmann may also be ok?

And it may have been $1100 or something, hopefully aud not gbp lol

Ed: hm no quote, i'll keep looking

Sorry to be OT but does the piano black scratch easily?

I have a set in stock for a manual 135i, happy to do a deal, send me an email with your vin and i'll make sure it fits as some vary depending on your options. Way less than the above pricing.

What variations are there?

dan_brooks · 09-20-2012, 07:50 PM

I assume smokers package etc...

Shaunski · 09-20-2012, 08:08 PM

One thing with the alcantara is dust sticks to it. I had all of it treated with some fabric and leather protector stuff just in case. I wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and it comes off but it's just a bit unsightly when dusty esp on the gearstick boot
