CF Interior Trim

[rfx45]

Found these on Ebay and thought it's a pretty cool option to those looking/interested so I figure I'd share. I'm kind of considering it if it weren't so pricey and required me to send them my stock pieces I am replacing. They also make a CF steering wheel option though they do not have a pic of that.

Are these carbon fiber or "carbon fiber"?

[rfx45]

I believe it is real carbon fiber since it cost $1400 plus a $699 deposit which will be refunded once they receive your stock trim pieces. I can't say I'm an expert though but it certainly doesn't look like just some cheap overlay.

Jeez, that's a lot of money.

wow. do I go with the less than 150 dollar 3M carbon fiber film or $1400 with $699 deposit plus tax and shipping for some one to mess with my stock aluminium pieces. I can't really make up my mind on this.

thoughts?

You get the $699 back once you ship them your OEM trim pieces.

I get the sarcasm though but this is actually a typical price for real CF trim pieces. A real CF trim pieces for my Lexus IS was around $2k too. Price would go down a bit if there are alternative options/sellers but this is the first CF trim pieces I saw for the E89.

See, how come BMW makes CF options (M Performance Accessories) for the F30, F10 and 1-series? E89 never gets love.

Yea it looks pretty good, being the first CF trim for E89, I'm glad it's available, although the price still keeps me from buying it ahead of other mod.

Wouldn't mind seeing some photos with it installed. Might go really well with the Coral red leather.

just dollars and cents: bmw will make and sell zillions of F30s compared to e89s so the e89 market is very small/not worth their effort (it is upsetting)

That is the sad truth but it's still good that the E89 is pretty rare on the streets. I think I've seen one other E89 ever since I bought mine 2 months ago.
