      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.

            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

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

                  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.

                      1 series mats are a dialed fitment for an E30

                        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

                              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.

                                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

                                  carpet looks great!

                                  (throws out carpet) 

                                  just put a cap on the positive terminal so an errant can of Molson's in your trunk doesnt short the battery.

                                    Lol. Thanks dan. Figured I’d spray this one and see how it turned out, not sure when I would’ve been able to make it down your way.

                                        Did it come out crunchy or does it still feel like carpet? Looks really nice. Someday when I get around to the interior of my sedan I was planning to do the same thing.

                                          Did it come out crunchy or does it still feel like carpet? Looks really nice. Someday when I get around to the interior of my sedan I was planning to do the same thing. 

                                          It comes in flat and gloss, I used flat everywhere- even on the vinyl heel pad and dead pedal thing. 
                                           

                                          used about 5ish total cans for all the carpets, tan needed a lot and this carpet was properly stained lol. 
                                           

                                          carpet doesn’t feel as “soft” as when I started, granted I was starting with a 30yo beat up carpet. It does however feel uniform now. A tad firmer but I wouldn’t call it crunchy by any means. Happy medium between OEM and pontoon carpeting haha. 
                                           

                                          if I could redo it I would be more direct with my usage of a nylon brush in between coats in order to help the spray cover all sides of the carpet strands. I got kind of lazy.
