What did you do for your M3 today?

[ejendow]

Is that steering wheel trim redone? Or is that a new BMW piece?

[Nate047]

Thanks man, yea those look mint. For the trim by the headliner, did you do that or was the headliner job farmed out? Mine have periodically fallen off when it gets hot out, that annoys me big time. I'm trying to get the right stuff to make it last.

I really wish I could find some seat backs in good condition. Mine are all scratched up. That interior looks great.

Is that a OEM wheel or a rewrap?

The wheel is new BMW wheel.
For seatbacks, check ebay - good condition ones sometimes pop up. Or you can always find a good upholstery shop to re-wrap in similar vinyl.

Looks great man. What’s the best way to restore faded red seatbelt buckle receptacles? And what type of adhesive is best to hold the trim along the headliner edge? The part that touches the top of the window.

Thanks, for set belt buckles - I just paint them. I've tried magic erasers, heat guns, markers, etc. Nothing works as good as a thin layer of paint + flat top coat.

Hopefully is was a satisfying process to bring it up to an "as-new" standard, the results are stunning. Very well done.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Not something that I did today, but rather over the last few months - but I took some pictures today ))

I finally finished restoring interior on my car back to 100% factory fresh. Lots ot work here, lot of new original plastic and leather in this baby. New headliner, pillars, carpets. Everything from trim to leather, windows, seals, sunvisors - every inch of this car was brought back to as close to new as possible. 90k miles on this, btw.

Finally swapped my silver ZCP steering wheel trim to black with the blank upper.

[Cronenberged]

Did the center console armrest delete and installed the shorty. Previous owner spilt a lot of coffee which half was in the emergency light and door lock switch.

Are these ultrasonic cleaners the real deal? I see ads for them everywhere but nobody I know has one

Ultrasonic cleaners are the standard for getting parts clean at every industrial toolshop, so yeah they work.

My wife went to Mexico and brought me some bits I needed to finish the CSL install that had stored there





the Z4 has a very conveniently located stud the places the connection pipe right where it needs to be.



It really is like BMW wanted it to be there LOL

Every nut and bolt I’ve taken off the car has gone into the cleaner before reassembly, huge help so far removing grease, debris and rust. Was able to put my whole battery tray in last week before a coat of paint. Looks brand new!

[Rokoz]

Reassembly after a lengthy refresh of my TC Kline DA Coilovers. Wire wheeled the struts clean with a paint job, new bump stops, spherical bearings and a used set of TC Kline Camber plates. Tossed the springs into the ultrasonic cleaner too. Drastic before and after photos!

Nothing! I'm still waiting for the oil pan cover (rear pickup strainer) (BMW PN 11137832020). My car has the larger diameter cover, and I can't find it in the US. The retailer I ordered it from won't have it until April 30th.

If anyone has a lead on a new or good used part CONUS I will jump on it.
