I like Alcantara. I also have alcantara M performance knee support and alcantara gearknob back cover (from OEM M performance gearknob). I prefer original BMW EU parts on my car. Everything on my car is OEM BMW, even wiper blades

panki_86 - agreed, alctantara is super nice! I still long for the cloth and alcantara sport seats of my F20. And OEM is the safer and usually the better choice. But pricing is outlandish in comparison and often requires more skill to install. E.g. installing the knee support is trickier than sticker I went with OEM M-performance roof spoiler for my G21, but in a hindsight - I should have chosen AC Schnitzer stick on option. Easier to install and looks better to me.

M Performance steering wheel trim with the 7 series galvanic buttons.
Before: After: The brushed metal finish of the buttons and the paddle shifters and the contrast it creates with the carbon fiber gives a beautiful final product and adds some depth to the steering wheel, as opposed to keeping it all dark or all light. Also adds an aspect of luxury to the steering wheel. Two things I wish were available were:
Super happy with the final product though! |

Finally had the time to install my second M Performance frontspoiler and the M side mirrors.
I killed the first M Performance frontspoiler in the winter... The M side mirrors are original parts because i didn´t like the look from the inside that the cheap copies have.

Make sure you discount both batteries and allow 30 mins for the car to discharge any current left in the lines per se. Especially for the shift selector knob, you could end up damaging module board with live current. |

Got new full cover floor mats from my friend's new business, easier to clean than the OE liners and also aesthetically pleasing with that red. Pictures may make it seem a bit too bright, but in person it matches the interior perfectly.
