    European Auto Interiors

    Happy New Year Guys!

    Anyone recently placed an order with European Auto Interiors? Been trying to get some BM-3109 to reupholster my A/C Pillars but my order never goes through with them. They also haven't been responding to any messages/emails.

    Alternatively, is there any other place I can get the fabric?

    Thanks in advance.

    This might not be the answer you are looking for … but, when I faced this problem, I elected to buy new pillars throughout.

    My logic: Fabric plus labor was about half the price (300 vs 600) of brand new parts from BMW.

    As I recall, bmwpartsdirect had 2 of 3 at a great price. I got the remaining pair (the C, I think) from ECS as they offered free shipping compared to the white expensive ($100-ish) the above dealer was quoting for shipping.

      When did you get yours? There were a number of people who had terrible trouble getting a set of parts that matched. In some examples the fabric colour differed by up to 10 shades between pieces

        This was probably two years ago. The production dates on my parts were all within 6 months of each other and my colors matched, despite ordering from two sources—a dealer and ECS.

            Thanks, I'll look into this. Perhaps it does make more sense to buy new

              If the fabric is not completely destroyed, it's probably worth a try to just pull it tight and re-glue them. On the C pillars at least.
