The interior is magnificent. I can't even imagine how this can be done?

Thanks a lot Steve!!! Shaun is one determined handy guy! Without him doing the heavy lifting i think i would have smashed up the seats or my car in the process of installation!

Just two questions. What is your day job? And how do I get into that line of work? Because it must pay well!!

Ah thanks mate
Sorry if it makes you part with your hard earned cash... But it's really why we are all on here right I only had the intention of adding some black gloss grills when i started and it all spiralled downhill for my wallet but uphill for the love of my car

HAHA You crazy? The interior needs a few more little touches which you will see soon. Nothing major, just enough to bring it all together and make it seem like it really does belong.

Then i am sure i'll think of something else

I wish they were in black with single white strip.

SAM SAM SAM! Thanks for putting my mind at ease when i called you.
I think i will wait on the wiring for now as its not that urgent... But I will need the coding done once BMW update all my software, so then i can have you tackle all my coding and wiring in one swoop?

I know what you mean about the white centre. It does look better in person and its certainly needed to complete the rest of the look otherwise the white accents don't seem like they below. At the moment i just have my black piano trim as the CIC and Gear Knob gaitor need to be sorted first and it just doesn't feel right.

You'll see it soon and can make your mind up then.

The white centre is actually extended white leather, so it isn't just painted, which was a nice surprise.

Happy to help install bro. You know what im like!!!...i did notice that u didnt carry any of the heavy front seats?! Lololololz

Mate i didn't want to upset you and carry the heavy seats. I knew i had taken your whole day up and forced you to miss the gym, so thought i'd give you the opportunity to work your legs, back and arms

You legend though! For helping me sort this! i would still be up there today fitting it if you weren't there haha

Dr Leather is in my shopping basket as well as some more car pro reload

More importantly, can't wait to see what you have in store next for everyone!

Cheers bud! Something different eh. Oh of course mate, all the little bits need to be done! Keep an eye out, it won't be long before these bits are sorted.

The 2 hour drive up to Birmingham was uncomfortable for shaun as he has spoilt his ass for sometime now sitting on M3 seats, but he felt some discomfort sitting on my msport seats on the drive up there... haha.. on the way back though, you can really tell the improved difference in support and comfort with the m3 seats! I am sure there is more maintenance involved as the leather does wear faster, but it is so worth it!

but I would have to say that is the best looking interior combo I have seen in a BMW... Great find!

Thanks matey, the centre is definitely one you need to see in person. I think once all the other interior bits have had a slight change and everything flows a little better, it will look like it belongs.

Fcukimg loving your car!!

Cheers Allan!
I haven't tackled the gear knob lights. I remember reading a thread the other day where you bought an m3 knob to fit but didnt in the end. I think im going to risk it bud and cut up my existing wires under the gear gaitor to make it work. It will look awesome!

Mate there is one on ebay!!! GRAB IT RIGHT NOW!!!! It is a little pricey, i think its about £1200 or so. But definitely worth it! See if he will come down on price as it has been up there for a long long time!
I am sure someone local will help with the install.

Mate will be good to see you there then! Take it the car is in the shop?

[vishvx]

wow that's quality, amazing car!

[Marshall878]

Dayummmmmm!! *drool*

Looks immense and so much more "plush" to the msport ones, never really noticed the difference before, but then again ive never looked!

One thing though, did the previous owner drive from the back seats? The leather on the fronts looks so tight and unsat in, yet the backs look well used!

Ref upping your wheel game, they need to be white now to tie it all in!

[KingKL]

Stunning E92 mate!

Where are those carbon side skirts from?

The M3 seats are a massive improvement! Visually it makes a massive difference too!

Don't worry about my wheel game I am stepping it up

SUNDAY 10th AUGUST PROGRESS UPDATES

So i have been busy trying to get my interior up to scratch for Gaydon on the 17th!

What is happening as i type.

Steering Wheel being retrimmed
Gear Gaitor being retrimmed
Handbrake gaitor being retrimmed
Custom Gauge Holder for my air.
A little dashboard trim touch which is intended to bring the white theme onto the dash to make everything flow a little more... Here is a little sneak peek





So this should all be done within the week before the show.


In the mean time, what has been happening!!!???

I have been doing what i can to integrate my air switches into the original m3 buttons for when i install my m3 centre console
This is the button i am trying to use



And after a couple of hours and some help from some people on the forum from the states. I have managed to get it to work!!!!



Pictures of the finished product will be coming soon



Also i am planning to re do my headlights within the next 2 months.
This has just arrived and i am so happy with it...

They are Clear ZKW-R lenses which offer 20% more light to the road and a sharper, cleaner cut off line. I am going to be pairing them with osram cbi xenarc D1S bulbs which will offer unparalleled performance!

But more importnatly, i have had the lenses etched with my companies logo!
Courtesy of ISH who created the logo for me.

I am so happy how they turned out







It is going to look awesome when done!!!!!




I am still getting used to my new interior.
Since installing them i have noticed my ambient lighting is now visible!!!
I am so happy as i love all things leds and ambient lighting!

My old msport black on black interior meant i couldnt even see my interior lighting. But now it is more visible than ever!!!

[afalton]

Looks. Great the idea with the air using a oem switch is class!

[gaza01]

Josh as ive said buddy...yr car takes every trophy on here!!! I love it!!!
(wonder where u got that idea for using the m3 switches for yr static?? )

[KingKL]

When the lights are on does it project the logo?

[AWBimmer]

Major Win JOsh. I'm not gonna' bother coming to the shows if you're around. I'm just gonna throw in the towel thanks very much LOLOL!

Great work buddy really is a hats off to you and your vision.

[Russ200]

Hey josh did you get the trim from woolies how good is the leather from there?

[Jam.Smith]

Continues to amaze again and again!! Top notch work! loving the small details like the etched logo!!!

[Josh1a1h]

It had to be done! it was a pain to figure out how to get the original switch to work and not blow it up whilst getting everything connected. But SOOOOOO Worth it!

LOL you trying to insinuate you came up with that idea
I always thought it would be awesome, but far too much work.
AND it was far too much work, but seeing my extended leather centre console had to be used... IT JUST HAD TO BE DONE! YOUUUUU KNOW!

It won't project the logo on the ground or anything, but it will still be visible in the headlight i believe. But living in london i don't really use my headlights much. Demon eye is usually showing itself off, so the logo will definitely be on show.

We will soon find out i guess.

AHHH Sam! That can't happen man! But if you are throwing in the towel, i guess your parting out your car right? only makes sense...
Can i have dibs on your sound system

RUSS how are you matey
I did actually order the silver and white trim from woolies.
But the quality disappointed me and was not a great colour match

So Iam having my retrimmer create a real leather, extra thick piping for me.

Should look the danglies when done

But i know where i got the smart idea from

HAHA oh well. Tell her there is a hog roast! There really is! Treat her to a Sunday Lunch

Cheers re: the etched lenses.

They will have absolutely no negative affect on the output of the low beam. So no problems there at all. They just look kl and even better when lit by a blue or colour changing demon eye a little idea into what is coming soon haha

[SpaceGreyOnBlack]

JOSH!!!!! Gorgeous man! What a car man! Love all the TLC gone into it!

Logo idea looks badass! You're totally in another league mate!
