I have the bug :driving: I own and 2003 E85 and I love it, but I have purchased a E89 3.5is, totally different ownership and driving experience :D.

Purchased the full Carly to have a play with coding and I changed the rear, disks, pads and sensor today :thumbsup:. On the too do list is the drivers seat bolster bit worn but I'm struggling to get a dye to match :headbang:

Interior is Ivory white with the wood, didn't think it would be my cup of tea but I love it :D

Looking forward to going through the forum to see how people have modded their cars :thumbsup:

You've definitely got the bug if you've got 2 at the same time! :lol:

I was looking to do the seat bolster on my 1st Z4, but ended up selling it before I got round to it. :oops:

But I did find these people, who might be able to help you out:- https://www.liquidleather.co.uk/scuffma ... 6?view_all

As I say, I didn't do it in the end so cannot speak from experience - someone may know though.

Regarding the seat, I got a touch up pen from the leather clinic off eBay and they also do dyes, just do a quick search for “BMW leather dye”

For the seat, Gliptone. https://www.liquidleather.co.uk/ A British company with a range of excellent products.

For the Alcantara, Waitrose "frangrance free baby wipes". Wiple gently with the nap.
