Congratulations..well done…on my E89 chickened out doing it myself..got a professional to do it..I’d made it more complex with edging trim that needed lining up correctly..took a lot of clamps to fii in..the extra thickness was a killer..

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Wow! Nice work. The orange stitching is nice - but a paint to line up properly!
What do you think... should I do the centre console in my e85 or leave it aluminum?

Looks great, you've made a really tidy job of it I considered doing the roll-hoop covers, but thought it would be too much of a faff. Sprayed mine matt black instead, but yours look really good.
I don't think the centre trim would be too much. I reckon it would help to tie the pieces at the front and rear together. It is a ball-ache to remove though!

The chap put 3mm foam under the dash which made it look and feel better but adds complexity..I’ll do the centre console this winter..
