Does anyone out there have a source for OEM or OEM style headliner fabric?
I recently had the headliner redone on my '91, and the shop used a locally available material that is nothing like the material that was in the car. I'm trying to keep it as original as possible, and this material isn't going to cut it. On top of that they charged $650.00 to do the headliner, and did a piss-poor job at that; but that's another story.
Basically, is there a source out there for material that is very similar to the OEM material in a 1991 5-series? I could just buy a new board from BMW, but I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
Any suggestions?
Here's the new headliner in comparison to the original material:
i bought a new headliner from bmw and installed it myself, was under $400.

search BMW OEM Headliner. You will find a guy (out of Florida I think) that sells it under the name oldstock or something like that. He sells the grey headliner by the roll...email him with you year model and he will fix you up with the exact material
