Just installed the M Performance interior trim

Anthony235 · 08-15-2016, 10:54 AM

Interior is complete for me. Just need to decide on if I want to do the steering wheel as well. Not sure about the wear and tear on the wheel as a daily driver.

PARTS@STBMW · 08-15-2016, 11:15 AM

Well done, looks amazing!

pdx2er · 08-15-2016, 11:20 AM

Looks great! Steering wheel is totally worth it. You might have to use alcantara cleaner every now and then to get it back to it's original softness but it's a super quick job.

BMWZ4 · 08-15-2016, 12:41 PM

Hey, same interior as mine. I also did the shifter as well but not the steering. I don't think the Alcantara will do.

LENELSA · 08-15-2016, 03:42 PM

did you install yourself?

Yep, same here. Shifter took the longest but all pieces took less than 45 mins.

tinyTIM · 08-16-2016, 08:21 AM

Looks great. This is one of the first things I did on mine and I love it. I would also suggest doing the shifter as well. Really completes the look. I am debating changing out the steering wheel as well, but don't want to lose my heated wheel.

Anthony235 · 08-16-2016, 09:40 AM

The shifter piece has a clear coat over it, correct? Not the dry carbon like the other pieces.

Dylan86 · 08-16-2016, 11:41 PM

Beauty. Definitely a finishing touch to an already beautiful car!

Its dry carbon and an absolute must...favorite piece of the MP interior by far.

Check out the link in my signature I have the whole interior done with shifter

Looks great! For some reason I thought it was clear coated. Maybe I was looking at a piece from a different manufacture.

Looks great!!

Take care of them

1.Door handle may pop up in high temperature like under sunshine, just push them back is fine.

2.On the panel, M Performance Logo, letter e in "Performance" might be cut or break during daily use.

Been over 90* here the last month. No issues with the door handles yet.

First I've head of the letters cutting or breaking. Are you saying the stitching comes out?

Yes, most stitching comes out.

One I saw is fully cut into pieces.

I live in Toronto and 35C around, it pops out some time but I just push them back.

isthar · 08-24-2016, 09:17 AM

Yep, I've had this interior since day one, love it! Have not had the issues mentioned in this thread.

Alcantara wheel - watch out for nicking it, nothing worse than accidentally feeling that you just nicked it with your nail accidentally

then I rub it praying it just goes away...

What alcantara cleaner are you guys talking about? I have barely done anything. I swear it was supposed to be "just a tiny bit of water and microfiber, nothing else"

I rub my hands all over it, so it's definitely oiled

... and I mean that in a good way, no issues

M3 Esq · 08-24-2016, 12:42 PM

Looks great! Now all you need is the CF gear selector. I saw one in person on the m235i racing and it looks really cool. Not sure if it's worth $200 though

I used sonax alcantara cleaner on my LRP steering wheel. It works well.

I have a question, is the carbon fiber trim comes in shiny like the carbon fiber exhaust tip?
