How to liven up interior?

Maxevaaans · 09-27-2015, 08:54 AM

So i was recently looking at a 2013 space grey E82 with a sat nav included before finding out a deposit was already taken.

So this leads me on to know i may not find another one with a sat nav so i was wondering does anyone think its boring interior without a sat nav and how to liven the interior up if you dont have the sat nav.

Say sat nav again.

Seriously though, its not a discothèque. If you don't like the trim pieces change them, could wrap a few things in leather or alcantara, but its a driving focused car interior.

Yeah i guess so thats a very sensible realism that this is a drivers car any more idea?

Electronic steering wheel, some recaros, alcantara & carbon fiber

Been looking i find some alcantara trims look really clean just end up making the storage tray look out of place

Exactly.

Personally like the e82 interior with no nav. Simple and functional. You could look into the Awron gauge that integrates into the dash. Will add functionality and looks.

yes I am starting to find a clean dash is beautiful however the one im getting has a god damn storage tray and it doesnt look flush at all wish i could nip it up

I ordered Nav in mine and use it pretty darn frequently, but usually shut the thing off at night. The electronic steering wheel really awakens the interior.

Yes I love the electronic steering wheel! just seems expensive anyone have any ideas to fiddle with the storage tray and make use of that dead space.

i have seen people put Tom Toms in there but I want to do something different

Check this thread out, I'd say it classifies as "something different"!

Get M-gauges and floor mats. Subtle big difference. I thought about doing trim pieces but for the price, I'd rather do suspension.

Someone on here had mounted there nexus 7 tablet in that space. Then use there elm-327 to have personal data gauges on it. I would like that better than the I-drive.

They bought the insert to go in place of the cubby. I'm sure the op would be happy to share the details with you.
