The shop did my E61 for $350. I dropped off the headliner and the pano roof shades. Picked them up 4 days later. At first they thought I wanted them to take the trims and liners out to do the work. They refused to do it until I told them I'd be delivering everything.

I am hopeful that the effort to find the black interior bits like sun visors, ambient lights, and grab handles will keep me remembering how cool the suede headliner really is. I will confess to nothing if not being a man in search of a muse.
I hear that. But it has to come out anyway to be rewrapped in something. Might as well be suede. I will not live with a sag in the headliner. No sir. The proverbial pea under 40 mattresses.

I know I adore the suede headliner in the E61. I even bought the M5 alcantara vanity mirrors and wrapped the A, B, C, and D pillars to match it. Looks so good...
