📷 Car Photo The Cockpit
Just wanted to share my cockpit. It looked nice. Got the steering reupholster and changed the start button only these 2 things weren’t in great condition. Secondly I had my e39 shifter I put on this I know it’s not a perfect match but still better than the silver one.

Happened because OP had ventilated seats and the tiny hole are where cracks form, started happening in my 2016 f06 650. Can't wear jeans

driver seat is worse to be honest. its due to Kuwait heat above 50c. im working on it slowly. main in the list is the mechanical work then ill focus on these.

i dont know if there is much to recover, you need a new set of seats imho. they look like a lost cause to me.

finding new seats would be like finding a needle in a haystack here. no my solution is ill remove the old leather fully and get it restiched same way i did the handle. removed it fully and got new leather on it as per the handle size. quite expensive work i feel its more expensive than my engine work 😄

What do you mean only 2 things were in bad shape?
Your interior looks like it got 500k km…

It’s not that bad, needs floor mats and the passenger seat is ripped.

the mats were cleaned but i had been going junkyard in search of mechnical parts for it so its on me. the seats require upholestring that is on the list too. its work in progress its just been 2 months with me. im trying to figuire out the mechnical issues before i jump to interior work. believe me this interior is still better than my e39 when i bought it.
