Could you take a couple pictures?

When the whole headliner starts to peel or sag, it might be better to consider redoing all the panels in alcantara. For the one or two A, B, C panels where it is wrinkling, just peel back only the loose part and reattach with 3M Super 77. That way, you keep the original fabric. Just be sure to cover the loose fabric with plastic or cardboard and only use the glue on the backing panel.

Even the floor mats are different, cheaper feeling/looking

I'll see if I have one. They def don't match. Both bought same time from ECS. I remember, a few years ago, the pillars went back ordered and then available again, with a price increase, of course, but they don't match the original ones. B.S. Noticing lots of issues with genuine parts these days.

I like how my brand new genuine BMW A pillar doesn't match the new, genuine a pillar airbag cover strip I ordered as well. Looks like that's the case in the picture above as well

Dang, could you post a picture of the A pillars? That caught my attention when I was researching this.

My original plan is going with brand new A pillars and strip and recovering everything else but that might change if the cover doesn't match at all.

I recently researched this and found this great thread on e46fanatics.

Apparently the correct fabric for the headliner is BM134 because it has a foam backing and the correct for the pillars is BM3109, same as BM134 but with felt backing.

They are out of BM134 fabric at the moment though, they will have it back in stock in January.

I've read that some members have found a good match to the OE headliner material from veteranco. However, I've seen it referred to as both BM134 and "Titanium." Has anyone here tried either and how good was the match?

I asked Veteranco if they had a sample of "Titanium" but they said that they only go by part numbers. Does anyone know the part number to this fabric (if different than BM134)?
