Interior Mods

Hey guys, I got in my car today and was kind of bored cause its been the same for a while. I have the stock gps and an aftermarket screen but I can't really think of anything else to do.

So does anyone have any suggestions for interior mods?

Depends on how far you're willing to take it...

-Dye your seats/panels BMW red/other custom colour (been done before, a quick search on here will show you the results) - Low cost but labour intensive

-DD Kit, even with your stock navi, a nice DD Kit will re-vamp your interior (better sound, too) - High cost

-New, lighter seats - Bride, Recaro etc.. if you are going for an all out sport look (you'd probably need some performance mods to help explain this purchase to your friends! - don't want to be all show and no go!) - High cost

-New pedals - Low cost

-Not a huge fan of interior LED's...but whatever floats your boat, it's your car after all - Low cost

What year is your car? If it's an 03-04, you could always look into upgrading to the 05-07 dashboard/console.

With money, anything can be done...

Honestly, not sure on whether or not it can be done on the sedan... (depends on the interior specs - size, width etc... and if they changed from year to year)

I'm guessing somewhere around the 1k to 2k mark for this conversion...it'd be alot less if you were able to find a dash from a wrecked car

There was a thread where this dude put some leds in his cupholder and when you put like a bottle of water in there it lit the bottle up, it was real classy looking!

Yeah, it's called ambient lighting. A lot of new cars these days come with it.


I did interior LED's. I just replaced all my inside lights with white LED lights. It looks pretty good at night. Nice and modern.

Pedals are a nice touch too.
