I've always loved the anthracite headliner in the 3er....
I think it needs something to break it up though.

I was originally going to go with cf, but I think I am going to keep the aluminum for now. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I am a little concerned with the anthracite the whole thing will look too dark, but I really hate the beige.

That's why I asked about the CF.... I'd be too dark for sure.
It'll def be a little darker, but with the alum trim to break it up it should look great!

I agree. I just hope it can be done in a material similar to OEM; I actually like the OEM material, just hate the color!

Who is the guy that did your G's interior again? I have a quote for $500 from Gary @ Diamond Trim in Aurora (I've done some work for him, very cool guy and good work), but I'd like to see what others can do too.

Looks great Kevin....

Looks like I have to find someone new to paint a set for me.
I stopped by the shop that painted the lower valences on the G, but they're gone.

That's a shame if they did good work. G/L finding an alternative. i'm sure you'll have no trouble.

Ahh bummer. How are the reflectors in the Z adhered? Same as the 335i (double sided tape?)

No... bolt in, 2 nuts behind the bumper skin.
A bit of a PITA from what I understand.

The only pacifier for now was to mod them out of my sig pic

Haha, I just noticed that.

That sucks about them being bolted in, the 335i ones were cake to pop out.
