They never are... they never are...

But as you said, nothing that can't be worked with. I was in the same situation with my imola out of California. I drove mine home though...

There's a full set on EBay for sale I saw it a few days ago not sure if it's still available or not

Drool!!! Red interior!!! That was my dream when I had my e46.

Ohh trust me, I still dream of having a white E46 M3 on red interior 😜😜 but here in Chicago area a RWD is just not worth it or safe. Next best thing is 4.8is

Glad you liked it tho it was a pain in the rear swapping the whole interior by myself lol Thanks

It's still available and has been for at least 4 months. I keep it in my watching items for S's and G's. Imola exterior and imola interior are not my idea of an ideal combination. LOL that's A LOT of red.

I saw that. It's about $2500.
I can dye the door inserts and seats for much cheaper.

:iagree: Ebay interior parts are so overpriced its not funny. I see torn up sport or comfort seats (just front pair) for $1k + shipping sitting on ebay being re-listed over and over

Almost everything X5 related on eBay is overpriced. There is a set of iS bumpers for 500+ with damage, they have been listed for the better part of a year. I want him to remove the lip/diffuser and sell separately but he won't bite.

Not just X5 stuff... e30 stuff too. Ebay used to be a great place to buy stuff, but now it's a chore going through all the cheap China new parts looking for the few good, owner listed, used parts for sale.

Did pick up an alpine white rear trunk lid in good condition for my convertible E30 though... with an IS rear spoiler for $60 local pickup. I thought that was a pretty good deal so I picked it up to delete the third brake light rust potential on the e30 cabby. :thumbup:
