Interior Restoration E46 330ci 

Very difficult to find. I tried. Ended up ordering new from Schmeidmann. I think the only way to use fabric would be to get alcantara.

Thank you. I hope it goes well. Be prepared to handle alot weight lol. Merry Christmas to my UK brothers (if i remember correctly youre from uk right?)

Thank you Victor. That was a nice thing to say

Thank you for the kind words. Greetings from denmark

Thank you. Thats very kind of youbto say

Fully agree. AND you also get to know it so well you very clearly know whats next on the list to have maintenamce done to it before it fails or run the risk of failure. Thanks man. Your replies are again very nuanced and hard to disagree with💪 What e39 is that?? I have had a 530ia i miss dearly

Thanks for your nice answer. Its a 530i -02 Touring. I bought it 2005 and use it as a daily driver. I thought I would upgrade and go for E61 but it was to ugly (!) end when the F11 came - I noticed I cant sell it as it has served us so well. I really like these generation of Bmw:s They had the confidence and the German way of over engineering without showing off. I hope you find a nice E39 again - Its like the older brother of E46 :) @@OEMplusRESTO

I used my e39 as a dd. Best dd ive ever had. But it was quite expensive to have 2 old bmwøs so i had to choose. But now i miss it because a daily driver is just so much more opportunities to enjoy the car than simply a weekend car! But alas i will own one again! I too testdrove a 258hp 530i e60 and it was just such a downgrade in terms of design, quality and engineering from my previous e39 (m5) that i went for the e39 (530i) again.. Its litterally peak bmw imo. One ABS unit awau from being the perfect car@@andrewachholz7922

Thanks for the honest feedback. Im no expert on leather. Do you think i should apply something to remove the shine.

Merry christmas to you and your loved ones Robert😀 and thanks for the support

Thank you:)

Nice!! Is your a/b/c pillars holding up with the new fabric? I read alot that it doesnt hold for long and honestly im not sure mine will either. I love your choice of car btw😅

Used a feux leather in the end, thought if I'm doing it I may as well upgrade it. I'm confident it'll last a long while, and if not, it'll be the next owners issue 😅

Thank you. Greeting from Denmark

Thank you. Merry christmas to you too💪

Thank you for the support and insight this year. Its been a joy.. i wish your and your loved ones a happy a happy holidays as well. May the new year bring lots of car joy for us car guys😎

Thank you. The matte clear coat is super important if you dont want i to scratch easy💪

Mi español no es bueno pero te entiendo. yo tenía español en la escuela. Gracias por las amables palabras

@@OEMplusRESTO tranquilo es muy bueno.muchas gracias por contestar

Thanks man.. clearly you saw that part😎

Thank you for the kind words. I try and keep the costs down so that i can spend the limited amount of money i have on stuff that really matters. Imo the brakes for instance. Or new components for the cooling system etc! Merry christmas from denmark😃

And a merry christmas to you too sir😁

Merry Christmas to you too😊 i did take me a shit ton of time though. Thats why i made a separate more detailed vid on the center console:) i only have the evenings and a little time on the weekends for this😅

En audi S3?

Ja en 8L

Thank you. The supplies are very cheap. Cant remember how much but its like 10-20 pound for enough color to redo the entire interior more or less

Didnt think of it. Oe is 100 dollars a piece more or less! But even with alcantara im not sure it would be better in my case!

Amazing seats

Honestly i dont find them super comfortable, but that was most likely due to the bolsters not being able to deflate! But i fixed that. I havent driven it yet so i dont know how comfortable i will find them yet

@@OEMplusRESTO the bolsters do make a difference in comfort, so will probably be better

Theyre really good. Sadly mine has a hole in them. Not as good as a 330ci though😅

@@OEMplusRESTO both pants and car had reinforcment done

@ivanfilipovic3296 subframe mounts?

@@OEMplusRESTO well pants were reinforced under massive ballsack but on car i have redish v2 plates and on inside i have welded beams simmilar to vincebar / datsun 240z design, and all those beams work with folding rear bench

Sounds like quite the setup.. did it improve handling noticeably in your opinion?

I did re-trim it but it doesnt last so i think i’ll buy new

Ive done it before. And using google etc.

I cant. I dont have heated seats:(

Not at all, The bmw smell is the sound insulation beneath the carpets and such. Cleaning the seats wont change it:)

And nice car. I love that model😅

@@OEMplusRESTO yes now that you say it I have heard this somewhere before, thanks !

@@OEMplusRESTO I will be restoring much like you have done, first up is manual conversion. Your video’s are brilliant!

@mickmurphy92 theres a guy/company somewhere that sells the bmw/crayon fragrance. Its the best bmw smell ever
