What do you think of this ?

Just saw this BMW Performance Gear lever for Auto box on the BMW website, my interior is going to look like what you see int eh attached pics. That gear lever will have "black leather and Alcantara, with a decorative strip in high-quality pearl-effect chrome, and fine silver stitching.", how do you guys think it will cope with interior. I'm not too sure about it and think it might look out of place.

There is also the Hand brake which matches the Performance Gear.

Well on one hand I think the chrome bits my flow well with the others like paddle shifters and the door handles then I think they don't lol. The the Alcantara, would it look out of place since there will be only those 2 pieces. If add one of them I think I will have to add the other so it will have the same kind of feel in the center.

Some other additions to interior that I'm planning to put is the m door sills and M dead pedal, I might even put them before I take delivery of the car which is supposedly in production this week :D

you could always get it trimmed to match the rest... i think its quiet cool...

[Saqib]

It looks quite cool, but I think from the pictures it is very hard to tell if it would go with the rest of the interior. I would say for those bits wait until you actually get the car and sit in it and then you'll be in the best position to decide whether it would go or not.

Personally I reckon it would go.

I love Alcantara so I say go for it.

[Fas]

i like it, will flow well

[Mud]

I agree, think it will look good dude

[M7ammed]

guess first couple subtle mods are settled :D

These 2 and ///M door sills and ///M Dead pedal. Once the car gets here I will see how ti drives and sounds, as I'm considering the BMW performance Suspension and Exhaust.

Nice one Adood.

[M7ammed]

The sound that comes out at 0:43 makes my heart crumble WOW

I think that looks quite cool actually, maybe wait till you get the car though an see what else you could get, got my vote though :) What about the CF surround as well?

That has a nice rumble in the vid! He should have done a dirty drift round the corner lol

it has an open diff but it has an e-diff too which is better than the normal open diff, its not the same as LSD though :)

[Tilly]

lol I was only teasing dude. As far as I'm aware the eLSD is a glorified version of DSC that ultimately just applies a slight braking force to one of the rear wheels :) you can still go skidding ;)

[phat///M3]

Sounds great Adood, do it it makes sense :D

I know dude and your exactly right , it will apply some braking on the wheel to transfer the traction to the other side. :)


Sounds great Adood, do it it makes sense :D

I'm going to get a quote on it tomorrow to see how much it costs, also will go a quote on the Pref. Suspension while I'm at it lol , should give a drop and stiffen the car. Just need the finances to recover from the initial purchase of the car itself :D. Will see how it goes tomorrow.

Mod list is getting larger and I don't even have the car here yet.
