It is; I know of the location of one roll. We need to make door cards for Carl's M3 first and then (fingers crossed) I will have enough to do my seats and cards. This is where the last roll went, it's replacing the Sparco Alcantara setup in the E30

Edit: Carl doesn't have the roll of fabric, somebody else we know does. His Euro M5 is at the shop getting restored so M-Tech fabric for a discount is the trade

Thanks! I hope so too

I wish they still offered fabric centers for all BMW seats. We had this in our X5... It was one of the features we liked most about it

This is more of what my ZHP did to me...

I have had the issue of clunk from the rear end of the car at on and off throttle in low gears since I bought the car... Got it inspected and I was told it was the left axle which has a bad CV joint... Have not had the time to get it fixed/replace... So today, I stop at an intersection and when I start to get going again, I hear a loud thud, I mean really loud... Heard it again at the next few intersections... Went to work driving slowly and holding my breath and thinking if I had a humongous crack at the subframe bolting location... Once I reach the office parking lot, I try to replicate it by getting on and off the throttle but i heard nothing.... Not sure what caused it... So my ZHP almost made me sh!t in my pants today....

Greased all my sunroof moving parts. It was getting sluggish. All back to normal now.

I had a remodel job a few years back. Had to move these to get started. PITA. The rolls were heavy and the poly was slick.
