Swapping spectacular Alcantara interior
Hi, I just bought a like new '03 M5, 6k miles. The first owner had installed an Alcantara (synthetic suede) interior, i.e. all 4 doorpanels, gear shift and e-brake boots and middle head rest in the back. Colour is best described as lilac. Beatifully and very professionally done, but just not my taste. Looking for anyone who is interested to swap for OEM black leather doorpanels, would have to be like new too. I am in Greenwich, CT, so would be easiest if somewhere on the East Coast. If interested, can email pictures.
Thanks,
Jan

Welcome aboard and please post pics!!

I've seen a few E39 Pimpmobiles and it sounds like it might just make the grade (or Jimmy's nightmare page at least).

Funny, but it's not as bad as you think. It actually looks pretty classy. I'll post some pics.
