Doubt you will find someone using that exact seller. Seems to have good reviews though.

Not too sure about alcantara handles. Also missing the armrest, which is the thing that can do with alcantara the most.


Do they get Stevie Wonder to stick the fake M decal on all of them, or just the one they used for the listing photo?
Offering to do it for less?

Thanks - if anyone had glowing reviews I might have considered it - armrest is a good shout

I’m relatively handy with this stuff - did my transporter in 4 way stretch. Might give it a go or just run them to the body shop for gloss black (will grab a polishing kit for every journey there after)

thanks all

Nope, just pointing out that the decal appears to be poorly adhered, is misaligned, and its letters are spaced like a tramps teeth. If you're happy with that level of attention to detail, more power to ya – I'd rather pay a bit more to get someone like Royal Steering Wheels to do it properly 👍

Agree with the Royal Steering Wheels suggestion. Like many others on here I've had trim done by them and it's top notch. Just sent a request for another peice as it happens 😁
You'll know for definite it will be the right shade of alcantara etc.
Thanks - Royal has been a stable diet for e46 owners - should know better than to try alternatives

cheers

That looks good - reasonable price/happy with the cost? Stitching is a nice touch
That’s really nice . What did jack charge ?

£160 for those 3 items. It smarted at the time but it's worth it. That was a couple of years ago now and can't remember if it was on an exchange basis. The stitching matches the other bmwp stuff I got ( hand brake , gaiter and steering wheel) so that was a must. All told very happy with their work.
Just had a price of £120 shipped for the instrument binnacle to match the above so will order that up soon.

Edit

Nyxeris kindly posted a nice picture. Seems the price has shot up 50%☹

Here’s a binnacle for good measure - older car but you get the idea:



Are they genuine BMW pedal covers? They look WAY better than the pictures I've seen of the current BMW M Performance pedal covers for the F2x series. I would like something similar to what you have here.

Yep – genuine BMW Performance pedal covers, part number for the set is 35000409289. No footrest/dead pedal cover was available on RHD cars though – only lefties got one!
