Dashboard
Moderator: martauto
An uncracked nice dashboard please.. if any still exist
I am not sure I would bother now. Last year I spent a day helping a mate change his dash, we did it carefully given what he paid for it. treated it with proper stuff and protected it and within 8 weeks it was cracked. Waste of time effort and money.
When I get round to mine I'll be looking at something different. BMW have been making noises about makning them again, moon money no doubt but how much more than good un-cracked ones are going for now. There are some places doing hot vynyl covering and a few guys are getting results really close to the OEM extended leather.
Well the last one I bought for a customer just before BMW NLA'd them was £1200 plus VAT iirc.. and it came completely different than the original E30 dashboard. It had the E36 style of vinyl. The customer didnt like it and we off'ed it back to the dealer. I've never heard of BMW re-releasing nla parts though.. usually they completely close the books and the toolings done away with.. unless it's just on long term backorder with no delivery date.. the dash however is definitely NLAflybynite wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 12:20 pmI am not sure I would bother now.
