I’d probably pay the $75 from Bimmian if Estoril was actually an option, but $110 from IND is more than I’d be willing to spend.Quote:

Anyone know where I can buy some interior paint for the plastic pieces for a black interior? I was hoping BMW still sold some of the rubberized coating but I haven't found anything other than beige so far.

SEM Color Coat Landau Black is a good match. It's flexible, but I wouldn't consider it "soft-touch" like the factory finish.Quote:

Not sure if this is helpful but a few years ago I decided to buy a lot of new interior pieces (like the center console, etc) to replace my old scratched ones and I found them to be a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Replacing them was pretty easy too.Quote:

And has anyone had luck with painting the black sedan bumper trim? I've used blast plastic restorer and the like many times, but I'd love to find something that lasts longer. Mine are super faded against the red.
I used PlastiDip on the lower grill and it’s held up pretty well. Regular spray paint will chip and flake, but PlastiDip doesn’t. If it gets a nick and starts peeling just spray over it and it’ll seal itself back up. Just be gentle when you clean it the first few months but it’ll get pretty hard over time.Quote:

I used Forever Black on the trim from my first e46. It lasted 2 years easily. I sold the car at that point. I applied only once.
Hi guys, I'm having some trouble here and I'm hoping I can get some numbers from you guys. Long story short, my differential locked up 3 months ago, the mechanic has had my car for nearly 3 months now. So 6 differentials later I still dont think its correct. While I'm in 6th gear doing 80 mph my rpms are at 3k rpm or just a bit passed that. Does that sound right to you guys?
According to bokchoys website it should be at 2804 rpms.
