    EuroConnex GB: Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Interior Trims

    ​​​Link to see pricing and commit to GB: E46 M3 Carbon Fiber Interior Trims
    ------

    Hey guys,

    Following up on the interest that was given by the community here, I worked with René @ CarboProject to work on updating his catalog of pre-preg & autoclaved interior trims.

    Most other carbon companies have abandoned the E46 M3 market as they discontinued their carbon trim offerings - and I've been discovering why. René has pretty much every E46 M3 and specific CSL trims, however it's been a challenge to work through the entire catalog due to the complexity of parts offered, core exchanges, availability of new OEM trims and the ever changing landscape of supply and logistics with covid19.

    To streamline the process in anticipation of quantities, we decided to focus on the most popular trims and products, and offer a wide range of customization options with weave patterns and finishes.

    MADE FROM OEM TRIMS WITH FACTORY MATCHING CSL 1X1 CARBON WEAVE PATTERN USING PRE-PREG & AUTOCLAVED CARBON FIBER

    René hand manufactures these kits using brand new, OEM trim kits from BMW in Germany to ensure perfect fitment. No core exchanged is required. He uses the same manufacturing process as BMW M GmbH did on the CSL carbon fiber trim components: pre-preg & autoclaved overlays on the plastic OEM trims.

    The pre-preg and autoclaved manufacturing process, commonly called dry carbon, allows for a very thin application of carbon fiber, and is notoriously stronger than hand laid, wet carbon fiber applications. Additionally, pre-preg provides a much more consistant carbon fiber pattern we've come to expect from high quality carbon manufacturers.

    The trims are available in 1x1 and 2x2 weave pattern. The 1x1 weave pattern is selected by René to precisely match the OEM CSL 1x1 weave pattern that was used by BMW GmbH.

      Not on the trims per say. I got pictures of his matt finish on other carbon products. Here's my E9X M3 plenum in 2x2 weave, sticker under the clear.

        More enticing for sure... Thought we we're including steering trim on full kit?

          BMW hiked the price on the OE parts. It’s still is possible to add, pricing is just pretty crazy; retail is 699$ without core exchange refund.

            Wow! These are nice. Im really debating on ordering a full set. Would he be able to do a convertible set? The only thing thats really different is the rear armrests.

                    Yes! The center console is slightly different as well. I'm validating prices with René and will let you know.

                      His website lists it at $341 without core exchange. Let me guess, it's not up to date?
                      The carbon steering wheel cover below. Here with the canvas fabric, but it can also be ordered in the well-known 249g twill fabric. Alternatively, you can also send in your own part, which reduces the price by 50 € These Steering wheel cover is from the German company Carboproject and is manufactured here in Germany! N

                        Correct. I asked him to clarify. I'm hoping your price is the right one now.

                            The E46 M3 pre-preg carbon fiber steering wheel trims were added. This is curated price, GB is lower. This can be added to any GB order.

                            We're up to 6x confirmed kits right now! Will give this a push on the FB groups to get it past 10x and into production.

                              Production pictures from the E46 M3 CF interior trims group buy. Shows raw parts preparation, annealing and tempering process prior to clear coat and final polishing (for gloss finishes). The arm rests are currently in the autoclave.

                              First sets are looking to ship end of this week!
