Fun and cheap interior accessories

What have people added to their Z4 - E89 or otherwise, just to add a bit of fun?

Having recently just got mine, I had an alloy start button cover added, to cover a b it of wear and tear on the surrounding black plastic, but also to add a bit of theatrics to staring up the engine for the first drive! Felt like booting up a jet or rocket, flipping the button cover!

Been thinking of what other, relatively unobtrusive additions people like in their cars interior?

I will steal any and all ideas that appeal to me, but I will try to remember to thank you for showing

Bought a Carbon Fiber Sticker to go around the black bit outside the stop start button as like you the the black was flacking.

This may give you some ideas. A bit tame for my tastes but quite subtle.

I added a slip on cover for the idrive controler knob - about a tenner from amazon.

Takes it from the old style knob to the newer large style.

For a cheap bit of tat, I'm actually quite pleased with it.

Not interior, but I bought the E89 LCI turn signal upgrade recently, should arrive soon.

Thats a great looking upgrade, bit price at £100 or so, but I think it'll be well worth it!

I thought about doing that 'steering on the right mod', but I couldn't figure out if that put the accelerator to the left of the brake....

Yep, I've got one of these and it looks fantastic

goes with my 'Chav' E89/G29 grille, my BMW spinning wheel centre caps and genuine 'stubby'

For years I wondered if left hand drive cars had the pedals the other way around......And you know why they are all the same?

Because the world is racist toward left-footed people, that's why.

Car manufacturers presume everybody is right-footed. I am left-footed so driving has always been a massive challenge for me (at least that was my defence in the court case).
