New owner

[MICHAELROSCO]

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

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

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

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

Welcome A bit of tlc will have it looking like new. :wink:

Any pics of your E85?

 

[Mr Tidy]

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.

But I did find these people, who might be able to help you out:- https://www.liquidleather.co.uk/scuffmaster-m36?view_all

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

Very nice OP! And get those 313M wheels off of the runflat rubber! Just had to replace mine because of cracking

Very nice
I’ve had my 35is about 6 weeks and loving it, my 1st BMW by the way

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”

 

[Busterboo]

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.

For leather dye try https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk I got some coral red dye from them although I have yet to try it out!
