You can also just buy those center console parts for super cheap online. They’re not gonna be oem but you can find both the cup holders and the cubby/coin holder for like 25-30 together and they come in black/grey/beige to match whatever interior you got.

That's the way to do it. And the center console is like $50. They're cheap enough to just swap out. Painting is too much work considering you have to sand and prep.

@@samihamady6393 Yeah it’s cheap like it’s china made. But we’re talking about coin holders and whatnot, so I’m cool with the cheap replacements. I deleted the leather arm rest entirely, takes space unnecessarily, inserted a wooden dowel and wrapped it with felt and its much better!

A suggestion for another improvement: change the headlight plastic lenses. You can't get OEM BMW lenses. BMW requires you to buy the entire headlight units which are expensive. However, you can find non- OEM replacement lenses which install easily and will improve your car's appearance.

Instead of scratching or sanding the soft paint you suppose to use oven spray it deteriorate it. it comes of by itself. Just wash it off with a sponge after soaking it in oven spray.

2 easy things replace those nasty headlight lenses with new ones it’s easy they just pop right out and add red/clear euro tailights on the back. Also refresh the whole suspension with brand new bushings,front control arms, tie rods,sway bar endlinks and get some affordable coilovers and you’ll see a night and day difference
