Greetings!
Long time lurker here - finally decided to make an account.

I have in my posession some very good condition carbon leather trim pieces for a LHD E85 Z4 Roadster - missing the piece around the light switch.
They came with the car when I bought it, but I never bothered to fit them.

If the price is right - I may sell them.

Tried to google a bit to get a feel for how much theese are worth, but the prices vary from 600 Euros to a clouple of thousand bucks.
I bet there even is a difference in value wheter or not the leather trim is made for a left hand drive or a right hand drive car.

What do you guys think?

It's usually quite desirable, and I played around with the idea of replacing my individual piano black with it when I first got my car.

A lot of the value will come from it being being a complete set. - which is not the case here - and that 'small piece' missing is very difficult to find on it's own and was about £400 from BMW when I last looked.

Unless you're missing/damaged a bit of carbon leather from your own interior, then why would you want an incomplete interior?
 
Yeah, I was about to buy the missing piece, but didn't bother with it.
Actually, a guy from Lithuania has four of the small trim pieces for sale on ebay as we speak, but haven't found the two "main" parts that I possess anywhere else.
The interior in my car is complete - the leather ones was included as well as a bunch of other spare parts.
 
I sold a set on here for £300 about 4 years ago. That was a very forum friendly price though.
 
for the sake of that £400 for the small piece, I would actually pay for that small part to make it a complete set and then put it on German ebay. I reckon you could reach as much as 1500euro for it then. without that I think the value would be under 900euro as you would be looking only at buyers who would be looking to replace an individual section, not the entire thing.

I know If I were to sell my complete piano black set on ebay I would expect upwards of £900 for all of it knowing that the dash piece alone can sell in europe for around 600euro. The carbon leather is much rarer and much more desirable than the piano black as well.
 
I think nobody pay 1500 euro for second hand carbon leather piece The complete kit new was sold in USA this days for 970$ and there is a kit on ebay uk for 200 euros...
 
Admittedly 4 years ago, but...

Jesus... Thanks for the heads up on that, There WAS a carbon leather trim for 200 euros on ebay... There isnt anymore. ;)

I just bought it. I guess perhaps I was wrong on the value of these but 209euros for a full carbon leather set in right hand drive delivered to UK? BARGAIN!!!!!!!! :D
