eBay: E85 extended leather hens' teeth

Paulr said:
Does the leather cover the dash top as well? The crinkle cut look of the original is a pain to dust and retains dirt. Problems problems, eh, will it never end?

No. That would be 'full leather' or 'voll leder' which I don't think is very common at all.

Only seen it as a factory fit on one car, and that was an e34 M5 with a petrol (dark bluey-green) interior. The downside is the dash leather shrinks in the sun and starts to come away from the adhesive/substrate, and is a pain to fix. It also had a leather-covered parcel shelf.

Can't find a photo of the e34 dash, so here's an e28 M5 leather dash instead.

It seems I have the extended leather from my recently purchased Z4. Think it was called New England Heritage Leather pack?? I have leather a pillars, full leather door cards, transmission tunnel, leather sun visors etc, its all there. With softer nappa style leather seats. In reality what is all this worth if I was to potentially flog it?

Unless somebody holds a gun to your head demanding your car keys probably quite a lot. If you've got side covers as well then hire an armed guard...
 
I've pondered this as a friend of mine may be selling his car that has extended leather and I've offered to buy it from him.
As extra money to the sale of his car as a whole I don't think extended leather is worth a great deal, I think many interested buyers aren't even aware of the option. I for instance wasn't aware it was available when looking and quite possibly wouldn't have noticed if the car I chose had it.
That said to buy it (with a swap) I haven't yet put a figure to my friend but I've been thinking somewhere between 500-£1K probably closer to 1 would be fair. My swap items are all in good condition.
What colour is your extended leather?
 
If anyone is interested in an extended leather pack, my Z4 came with New London heritage leather, which was extended leather pack. Im interested in a px interior with money my way. Get in touch via pm with what you have / offers.
 
Door cards / a pillars / sun visors / seats if needs be etc. strip across top of windscreen everything that comes as part of extended leather pack
 
I am interested but you know it's a bit of a faff. Seats are not part of it, but the lower and upper centre console parts are, which are quite a pain to remove. Doorcards not so hard bit still, it will require some logistics to swap.
Where are you based for starters?
 
That probably rules me out then.
I'm in Norfolk about as east as you are west!
 
:D no worries. I am prepared to meet potential buyer halfway. Can get a motor relocation whilst up whichever way aswell then.
 
I looked at a car with extended leather yesterday. is nice didn't know about till I saw it and wonder what was done.... then found this on eBay
