WTB or Trade for: Natural Brown interior

[ZHP_Brandon]

I find my self longing for a nicer interior, full black is nice but I want to switch it up
I've also considered purchasing Cinnamon or Imola Red M3 front seats, swapping rails and connecting them
Then reupholstering my back seat in Nappa Leather, and in the spring get the door panel inserts done - I got a quote on a full interior rewrap (Depending on the Door Card pricing) at around 1100$.

So I figured I'd push for OEM Sport Seats in Natural Brown + Door Cards

I have black interior to trade if your interior is MINT.

Wow, that is CHEAP.
You should jump on this option if you can get the whole interior done for $1100. I bought my NB interior for about that much, and they were used. A rewrap would get you brand new fresh leather, which is always better than used.

Good luck with your search! Do you have a sedan, coupe, or convertible?

I have an Imola Red Sedan! I love coupes and verts, but the sedan to me is the unsung hero of the E46's since a Sedan M3 was never an option from the factory.. unless you google JeppeJ lol

I want to have a PERFECT interior, so maybe the rewrap will be well worth all that money

BUT - since were on the topic how do you guys feel about Imola/Imola? My brother once owned an M3 with that combo from the factory and thats when I fell in love with the colors.

The seat swap is easy since all I have to do is swap the railings, the rest is plug-n-play!

Here's my brothers Imola/Imola M3 all done up, he had eventually done A LOT more to it before selling it last February to his auto detailer.

No way! really? Im in love with the look of your car, I want to M3 mirrors but I can't find them and when I do there sold within a day.
I just want to have a reason to remove my tints next spring and have a great interior to show at ///MPact or Bimmerstock here in Glen Cove, NY.

Interesting you say that because I put on Llumar AirBlue 80 tint to compliment my interior. It's super light so it still shows off the interior, but gives the window a very slight blue tint to it, so it enhances the look while providing the proper UV protection for the interior.

Let me know if you ever want to see it in person, since you're close.

If you want a pristine interior, I think the $1,100 rewrap is your best bet (if the upholsterer is good). These interiors are all ~10 years old and used. Plus you won't have to spend time looking or consider the hassle of shipping.

I'm not a huge fan of red on red interior. I think Natural Brown or a Cinnamon leather is a great look on Imola Red. But do what you think looks good.

I've heard good reviews of that tint from someone who owns a VW by me, Im not sure of the exact details but he did something similar and said that it provides UV protection with out sacrificing the hassle of cops for tints that are "too dark"

I would absolutely love to! I have family in Port Chester, CT so that would be awesome. I have a cousin who owns a 335 Sedan and still wishes he owned an Imola Red ZHP, so thats a notch on our belts that a car with less HP is still desirable to many yknow lol?

I don't visit often, but if it means seeing the fabrication of your mirrors and I'm sure awesome interior I'd go out there!

I know, I would love to at least get the door cards from a car with Natural Brown, but Mentally I don't like the look of Cinnamon on imola
If my car was Alpine White I'd happily invest immediately, You guys totally are making me want to do this asap. If Only I could source some cheap M3 seats in decent condition, I reconditioned my brothers imola red seats before selling and they looked brand new.

I need to invest in a hot water extractor, before the first snow fall I want to remove my seats and shampoo the carpet and get to the vapor barriers in my doors so I can park it in a tent I'm purchasing this Christmas for my self, along with some ChemicalGuys Waterless car wash.
