E30 Zone

Lots up upgrades to the interior in the month since I got the car, mostly in this last 2 weeks. I just this weekend repainted the center section of my quite-faded M-Tech II wheel with SEM ColorCoat, and it came out looking like new. Mods and changes include:

M-Technic II steering wheel (center section repainted to satin black)
E36 window switches
Custom made leather ///M stitched ebrake and shift boots
Black door handles/map pockets
B&M leather shift knob

Soon I'll be putting in a 325i tach, that will show a higher redline for when I install my chip, and I'll do my needles red while I have the cluster out. I'm also getting some black BMW floormats to replace my VERY stained and nasty stock mats. I'd also like to at some point, get some OEM M-Technic door sills.

I know you guys want exterior shots too, they are coming. Once I get my suspension on (end of the month) and my airdam issues worked out, there will be more than enough pics.

loving the stitching on the gear and handbrake gaitors, and the window switches are a nice touch

Yes the custom stiches are a nice touch!

I dont know about the black hanldles tho!

id say its quite possibly a denzil, or some form of eta lump maybe ?????

looking at the owners details its probably a US spec car

i think its an eta, hence the rev limit

some nice touches there btw - looks good

Exterior shots a must

I kinda like those black interior door handles. I've got the same coloured interior (I like to call it Grandad Beige ;)). I might be persuaded to do the same kind of thing.

Very nice

I did the same thing with the black handles, when I fitted a beige interior to a car with dark carpets...

To the others asking about the redline, my car is a US-Spec 325eS, and I live in the States.

wasnt here that i first saw the pic m8, was on a bmw site i browsed a few weeks ago.


not sure what to do now, the pic has no indication of copywrite anywhere on it, and it wasnt here i first saw it.

here u go.

i found it on 27th march

Chaos, PM sent to your inbox.

Sweet interior Josh, plans for e to i conversion again, or what?

Not at the moment, but plans change. I'm going to chip it for now, and I've got a lot of mods for the eta motor planned, which should net some good power results. I'm just not into doing another engine swap right now.

Sorry mate, i do photography and graphic design and there are no traces of copyright on that image at all, not even jpg/gif data, as soon as you post an image on the internet it's at risk of modifications with nothing you can do about it, which is why many people put a watermark on the image, say a URL, stops people wanting to use it as they don't want your name in the picture.

Even if the artist has legal documents on official copyright (so not just saying its copyright as that does not make it so) the image has not been modified for sale/profit so again no real offence, hope that helps.

Whatever, I don't really care that much anymore. He can do whatever he wants, but I think it's pretty weak to jack someone else's picture and modify it because you can't go out and find your own.

I see what your saying Josh, but Chaos didnt even know anything about you,or your picture.He just found a picture (of which seems to be a modified versions of yours) and used it thinking it was fine.Its not like he personally saw your sig pictures then went out and customised it.

I suppose you guys are right, and Chaos does have the right to use the image I suppose, since he found it online, and there's not any copyright on the image itself. I would just prefer that he used another, that's not so similar to mine, that's all.

Yeh thats fair enough mate.When youve had a picture done purely for you as a custom piece, you obviously dont want to see people using it,even if its a modified version

Ref the sig pics. If you like the cartoon look it's easy to have a go at making your own. 3 min in photoshop and I created this one



Not quite the same, but worth a laugh

do the e36 switches give the one touch function?
