Just wanted to share a picture of the interior shifter console painted Sparkling Graphite to match the cars color.

i8_it · 10-18-2008, 04:42 PM

interesting..... first time ive seen that done on any e9x....

im spencer · 10-18-2008, 04:47 PM

thats actually a pretty good idea, did you just get the center console done? For how much if i may ask? Looks very nice!

tizzyd · 10-18-2008, 05:04 PM

nice m3 shift knob

07335 · 10-18-2008, 05:10 PM

Painting was $190. Had to use a special primer I was told to get the paint to stick well, also had extra clear coat to make it a little more durable. Yes, a M3 shift knob, and an M5 I-Drive knob. Thanks for the responses. It looks even better in person. This will be the only wood piece I get painted.

07335 · 10-18-2008, 05:17 PM

One more picture.

Diamond Skyline · 10-18-2008, 05:25 PM

that looks hott... btw where did you get the saddle brown arm rest? (not stock right?)

now all you have left to paint is the ugly wood trim

07335 · 10-18-2008, 05:29 PM

Yes, the saddle brown armrest came stock.

montreal red · 10-19-2008, 01:00 AM

hmmm its a great idea... i would have painted all the trim pieces ... but i guess that would have cost significantly more.

Hoothout · 10-19-2008, 01:05 AM

ya that looks great, but itd flow really well together if everything was the same.

it dosent bother me. i like it cuz i just love the paint color!!

Minipuck V 2.0 · 10-19-2008, 02:03 AM

the only real downer is that maintainin the trim gets difficult
