Again, that red interior is

. Way too much red for me. Just leave it to the seats and door panels. WTF would you trim the dash plinths and steering wheel!!!!! No Sorry, Don't like it and i'm a serious e39 man!

Sorry Barry, i'd rather have a 540 sport with the titanium interior trims, in a better colour than black, .....................for what? 5k max? 10k is madness to blow on any e39 at the moment. It will plummet in value despite the fact it's a B10. However, put in in silver, put a "nice" interior in it and it might appeal to me more....at about 7k though.

Black with read leather is one of my favorite colour combo's for most cars hence the love.
When i say good value i mean in respect of what it would have cost new.
There is another B10 V8 on there in blue for 6k so yes it is at the upper end of the scale.

Very nice motor, but just a bit OTT with the red on bottom of dash and centre console.
Marlow Cars have always had a rep locally for slightly overpriced cars, but then they always have some of the
nicest motors in.

That Alpina interior is OTT and is tacky, the whole car just looks plastic and borderline dressed up 520 in a conference league player kind of way

Love the red leather. Greys and blacks = Middle of the road Bruce Springsteen dullness. Lovely car!

I've got one of these waiting for the person who thought that Interior would be a good idea.

is it a suppository or do they have to swallow it?
I like the white one but the red one is a bit too over the top for me.

The first car in question certainly is a marmite car!
Those interiors you have posted up Blitz are certainly quite outlandish, they will pretty much taylor an interior to how you want it.

A lot of the last lot Blitz has posted up look to me, like p1ss poor retrims! Look at the 3rd and the 6th ones down. And that red and white in the red e46 'vert is horrible. Look at the red e36 convertible. they've done the same as the original e39 posted and gone completely OTT with the red. That red centre to the steering wheel looks like a contender for Barryboys!
As Barry says, if Alpina will tailor an interior to anything the punter wants, they need to start telling the punters to F*ck off and stop ruining cars!

Agreed, that ^^^^^ is nice. The wood actually works although I'm not sure what else would go in there.
