Can you ever stop in your pursuit for perfection? Or madness. Likely latter because I had to refresh the seat rails and all plastic trims of the sports seats. Just because…

Also ordered brand new CSF oil cooler. Exactly the same as OE and probably better. Comes with AN10 adapters too as bonus. The old oil cooler pipes are in a terrible condition so I'll just go with AN10 pipes. Yes I know the oil cooler pipes are still available new from BMW but they are too expensive.

Need to get these bad boys painted. I'm going to go with body colour (Alpine White) instead of the original yellow zinc plating.

Of course I had to get the floor mats from Deutschland.

After a number of years of restoration, Snow White is finally back home. Here are some photos...

Hi, Does anyone know if any 3rd party seatbelt for the cabrio that works with factory seatbelt receiver? I plan to buy new receivers which are already expensive but the price of new front seat belts are ridiculous! Hallo, Weiß jemand, ob es einen Sicherheitsgurt eines Drittanbieters für das Cabrio gibt, der mit dem werkseitigen Sicherheitsgurtempfänger funktioniert? Ich habe vor, neue Empfänger zu kaufen, die ohnehin schon teuer sind, aber der Preis für neue Vordersitzgurte ist lächerlich!

Fresh leather…

Sorry no update for a while. That’s because the interior took ages to complete and still going on. Here’s a sneak peek…

Since you’re all in Germany, unlike me, why not get in touch with https://www.maucher-kg.de and get them to make genuine BMW carpet? They already make it for sedans for BMW and happy to make for cabriolets too but will need a carpet for 3D scanning first.

Thank you!

Thanks. You’re in luck. There’s a Dutch guy that makes the rubber strip. Also, with a lot of patience and time with a heat gun, apparently it’s possible to fit the bumper strip without gap. I have neither so gave up hahah. Ralph is his name. WhatsApp details here. https://oldtimerseats.com Also Facebook market place listing. https://www.facebook.com/share/1S4cKerh6A Thanks.

Danke!!

She ventured outside earlier... Looks like I'll need 16" wheels now. M3 BBS or BBS RS or Alpina 16"? Also joys of 40 year old M Technic kit - rear valance is slighly out of shape. How do I fix it? Or maybe no one will notice hahaha...
