Hi All!
I had been searching for a titanium silver, with cube/black interior, that was also an automatic. Finally came across one not too far from me. It was taken care of by a previous owner that was a member on here until about 120k miles, which was taken care of in detail. It is now at around 176k miles, and touch and go mechanical upkeep vs. fully active service schedules from the latest owners.
it's going to be quite a project to restore!
Interior items I'm looking for:
- New steering wheel with the M cover...thinking of Colby wheel + buying the M cover part
- Leather shift knob
- E- Brake handle (leather worn)
- Armrest needed, totally missing!
- Rear Ashtray
- Rear Speaker deck (sun damage, it's purple)
- Center Console
- Black Storage box trim around gear selector.
- Volume button base part to correct looseness
-BMW OEM Floormats
- A/B/C Pillars ( like new please, no fabric fail)
- Headliner - New, but will probably get repaired it upholstery shop
Exterior items I'm looking for:
- Windshield cowel
- Gloss Shadowline Trim (first round will be the large pieces on each side)
- Rear inner tail lights, older faded.
- Xenons are flickering, will diagnose.
- Damaged passenger fender... best way to replace?
-Cover for front bumper
- Repaint the car as clear coat is having an issue with sun

Going to the mechanic this week for at least:

+Who knows what else... I may regret such an impulse buy :-)
