Interior color change

Blacktop3 · 09-13-2011, 11:59 AM

Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to the site and fly under the radar for the most part but now I'm ready to get some specific answers. I searched but didn't find anything really helpful. I want to do a color swap on my interior and was wondering if anyone had done it with their 3. I have used leather dye in the past and it has held up great on my motorcycle and in a classic car but not on my daily driven car. I would have my interior guy do it but has anyone had any experience or issues with this. I am going to pick up a new set of door panels and seats so I can swap back to stock if I want. I'm that guy with multiples of everything since I like the option of swapping things back to original just in case. all the trim will be addressed separately but my question is specifically for the leather.

Thanks in advance

The new combo will be black and red in a black car.

You can buy just the leather from bmw.

I'd personally prefer to go with new leathers over dyed leather, especially if you are planning on having duplicate parts. We carry the trim and leathers for the e9X if you choose to go the new part route.
