Westminster Auto Upholstery provided the material and wrapped the headliner for me.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Talk about bringing sexy back. CSL panels are 🤤

Did you code out the side airbags? Bummer you have to remove them, only hesitation for me.

Correct. I removed them and had it coded out.

I was suppose to have this done months ago. And then I got lazy and didn't want to do it. So finally just dropped it off at the shop and had them do it instead. Mile End Composites CSL front going on and the Status Gruppe CSL coming off.

Drove it briefly today and man, such a joy to drive. clicking into each gear with the CAE shifter, it's just so rewarding, with the wail of the Dixis giving your ears an aural experience as you hit the redline....

Love my M2 CS, but the M3 is a different animal.

[ra2fanatic]

Well. I wanted to see how the 763's looked on the E46. As much as I love them on the CS and was hoping to love them on the M3 as well, thereby ordering a set for the M3, I do not. I think the spoke design is too modern for it's time. Oh well, swapped back and LM-R's back on!

[oceansize]

You are correct in that they are much too modern. Can't blame you for trying....

Interior finally done. Spent the afternoon putting in the rear karbonius cards, replaced the rear window motors, replaced the driver and passenger side seat belts because they never retracted so it was time to replace them, and installed the euro visors. She is done.

Great looking LSB sir 👍🏽. Are the euro sun visors also wrapped in alcantara to match the headliner?

Thanks! And they are not. I've seen some done before, and they don't look that great so I'm just going to leave them as is. Getting detail work done next week over a span of 4 days, so can't wait to see the glossy pop from the paint at the end of next week.

Whose have you seen?

[ra2fanatic]

Whose have you seen?

At least from what I've seen online. Haven't personally seen them in person. And really, matching visors at this point is not even on my radar.

What doesn't look great about the ones you've seen?

Just doesn't have an OE quality to the reupholstery. Simple as that. You have a set to convince me otherwise? It's probably less than $200 to do if I had to throw out a number, but again, with everything else that I've done, not on my radar.

[jet_dogg]

I understand, I wanted to know what you've seen specifically/exactly that it is about them instead of just a feeling ie. stitching, seams, tightness etc that's all.

Not having an oe quality doesn't tell me much which is why I ask.

It's what you mentioned which is why I wouldn't want it done. I'm sure it's easy enough to use the non euros and get those wrapped since they have no purpose anymore but I'd rather just leave it as it and focus on other things now. Less than a year in, I was able to "build" it the way I wanted
