Interior alcantara upgrades from ECD Performance

Wondering if anyone has ordered from ECD for interior upgrades for f22 / m240i. They seem to have good quality stuff from Germany, anyone have any goodies from there?

I had considered it but their shipping prices were a bit out of control at the time. Haven't checked back for a while.

Their ebay store currently lists shipping at EUR 90.00 for a CF gear selector cover. I know shipping overseas can be a little pricey but good god.

Yea, i just checked the shipping - absolutely ludicrous. 100+ euro to ship a small alcantara center console cover around the shifter area. They may not want to sell outside of Germany who knows. Are there any good local alternatives?

I like Alcantara for the interior though I'm not sure if it is easy to clean.

It's easy to clean, but you have to keep up with it as dirt & oils from your skin will mat it down. Sonax makes a cleaner:

Late reply, but I ordered a genuine alcantara armrest cover and handbrake gaiter from Seamline Automotive in the UK. The fit and finish was perfect with tricolor stitching. check out their Instagram for pics. Just make sure you order the correct color code because 9002 alcantara *does not* match the bmw M performance dash kit alcantara. Ask me how I know 😒. If I had to guess I'd say it's code 9040.

Competitor website, I'd imagine. It happens occasionally.
