Im thinking of changing the interior of my Cab from Grey Bubble to .............well not sure yet.
Thoughts on what a mint Bubble Interior would be worth to sell or maybey part exchange so I had another interior to have recovered in any chosen colour
This is the condition of interior
Cheers

Why you would want to change such a stunning interior is beyond me, i would leave that as it is. Motorsport interior is expensive and rare.

In my opinion the only thing that I prefer to the bubble leather is lotus white.

I think its a ugly interior pattern but it is original to the car. A car like that would look stunning with red leather but the only way to go is a retrim.

If you take it out Joe I would store it, it will only go up in value!
If you do get rid of it”¦ I'd put in my loft for say”¦ £500

Im not a fan of bubble leather, i think the fascination is the rarity opposed to the looks.
But since you have a mint interior with the right door cards and centre console, i'd leave it as it is.

everything about that car is rare,if you take it out as suggested and store it carefully you could always put it back in if you sell up or just forget about it for a while as golden nest egg .
who knows what it could be worth in 5 yrs time . red on a black car is nice though .

It's not a Motorsport convertible so The bubble leather is not original to that car so sell it on, cash in and by something else.
B-trim are not as expensive as the price you meantioned!
I'm sure Z3I had an original red leather cabrio interior for sale.

Why bother, imo???
The Bubble Leather will only degrade worse than Leather, because it was made too, imo
