I believe RIT dye requires full submerging of the carpet. Which probably won’t work with the foam backIng the e30 has 

You could always just put it in a bucket and stand on it

Foam will probably get ruined was my point

[KaiserRolls]

Plans:

Clean/dye current carpet (if I can’t get dans)

purchase brackets/side mounts for different seats

install MS3/wire up wbo2 

I still have a bolt-in 4pt sitting in storage, idk what to do with. Sell/install

cleanup/install trunk carpets 

fix firewall steering shaft boot 

fix Slow PS leak

I bought floor mats 

I’ll be back in a month with another insignificant update

So now we see that the carpet doesn't match the floor mat...

Epic.  Absolutely epic.  Any detailed instructions on installation?  What other brands did you comp before you chose to go with the OEM floor mat?

I just messaged some motoring life garage place and told the guy there to order me some. He gave me the run around about how I don’t own a 1er but I sent him money anyways

Sounds like a fucking hack.  I'd complain to the bbb.

Just need to cut around the heater core and then it’ll be ready to be removed. 
 

[KaiserRolls]

Purchased some bummerworld floor plates for the new seats, new clips for the sill plates, new clips for the doorcards, firewall steering shaft boot and new boot mount from a dude on r3v (needed for making the boot work with the different steering shaft angle associated with the z3 rack), side mounts for seats, vac seat belt receptacle mounts and a manual gas pedal stop as mine was still the auto kickdown switch thing. 
 

hopefully that’s all I need to get the interior finished off

Link for the steering shaft boot mount?

Are these the E46 floor mats? I haven't even driven in my car with my eBay mats, but they look like trash compared to these.

If Im not mistaken they are 1 series mats.

1 series mats are a dialed fitment for an E30

[straight6pwr]

yes, e82 mats. they fit OK, but the fronts are a little small. its nice that they are OEM quality, though, vs aftermarket questionable stuff.

The quality is quite nice for $100. Comes with the anchors too

[KaiserRolls]

I have no more brian cells left 

 

also started cleaning and putting together the rear trunk carpets and stuff. Won’t be dyeing those. Just cleaned them up. Need to cut up the side pieces to fit around the rear strut brace.

[KaiserRolls]

Trunk carpets in. Could’ve got fancy with cutting them out for my adjusters and strut brace, but just cut them short instead. 
 

I do have the plastic battery cover, it’s just a tiny bit awkward to affix and it’s nice not having to tear anything apart for tech - so I won’t be using it most likely
