Bill's Alpine White project

[ELCID86]

I forgot to post an update on Friday for this. I had the front seats professionally reconditioned.

Looks great. My guy here said ~$75/seat. Is he in the ball park?

Seats look good Bill

I'll have to dig the before pic back out.

$75 per seat is a bargain!

Thanks Charlie

Good to know. Thanks. When Colin gets home for the summer I think I'll look harder at it.

Well I had a substantial deposit on this car, so I thought it was a done deal. Unfortunately, or fortunately (sortof how I'm feeling now) it fell through this morning.

With that said, I'm removing it from the market.

Next projects are to install the following brand new items that are sitting my garage:

-new oem headlight lenses
-new hood roundel
-new euro clears all around
-sprint booster
-shark tune

I'm also likely going to swap the natural brown with the alcantara interior from my imola sedan. I like the idea of alpine white / alcantara and imola red / natural brown much better!

Not sure when I'll get to these projects but since I'm snowed in and working from home, I suspect I'll be a bit stir crazy and looking to burn some energy later tonight...

Sorry it fell through Bill. Maybe that's the answer to your DD question. I do like those two color combos. I think they'd both be amazing looking. I'm still leaning towards picking up the rest of your NB innards at some point. I wish I was closer so I could lend a hand and learn, but there is a lot of miles and snow between us at present.

I don't know why Bill, but after seeing Joop's AW/NB ZHP then yours....I have begun to like it more over my Imola/Alcantara ZHP

Thanks - I felt compelled to sell it given my personal circumstances, but really didn't want to, especially after everything I've done to it. Things have a way of working out though. I'm sort of glad it fell through.

Part of the process of getting her ready for sale was putting the stock wheels back on. I forgot how nice it looks on the 135's compared to the ugly winter shoes she's been wearing!

Only problem now is that i can't drive the car...lol. We have what looks to be about a foot of fresh powder out there.

How much did you get in the DC area?

AW/NB was always my favorite, and it is stunning. I think I like white / black color scheme better though.

Further, I feel like Red / Brown is classic vintage BMW. Not sure what that is based on, because is not a common color combo, but it just has a nostalgic feel to it in my opinion.

I do like the 135s.

Snow as of this morning:



More coming tonight.
