wanting to replace the wood grain trim.

Does anyone have a line on an argyle or plaid vinyl? I can't seem to find either of those, but I probably just don't know what I am looking for. Just curious to see what is out there for other patterns.

Don't have pic of the finished product yet. This was in the middle of it. I'll post updated pic soon.


Original plan is to dye the door panel red, as I did before on my old 540i MSport, but we think it would be too red. So just wrap the wood trim adds enough contrast and specializes the interior enough.

This is the 2-tone I did on my old 540i MSport

Tam, love the red on the E39 man.

The E39 center console is slightly easier to wrap than the E53 center console, but its not an easy job to look good, so far yours looks awesome! The E53 console is a bitch with all the complex curves and shapes, so leather is a good choice since it has some stretch.

Personally I got rid of the wood with a OEM aluminum trim set off German Ebay for $220, was all in perfect shape. The sets for sale here in the states are ridiculously overpriced.

If I could find a trims set brand new though it would be Cosmoschwarz, I love my aluminum for contrast but Black trims just look so bad ass on a sport interior.

Here's the finished product. I'm quite happy since leather trim is only available on "Individual" pkg. Not too much red and give the interior some needed contrast. The texture on the leather matches the dash and door top perfectly.

OMG I LOVE the black/red contrast, beautiful!!!
