I paid about $150 for the labor when switched to Konis.

The B14's I have are full coilovers with springs and shocks. Shops are asking over $1K for labor.

@Fliplegend

Yeah, I know the labor cost is much higher in more developed countries.
Let us know when done, share some photos as well!

Gotta do my brakes soon... not sure whether to just get M Perf BBK for $2.5k from getbmwparts or to piecemeal it. I'll probably try to pay for a shop to do it, as I've never done brakes before.

I got the M Performance kit with the orange calipers! One of my friends from work is going to help me do the job. It’ll probably be a month or so until I get time to do it, but I’m very excited.

karapet85 · 07-19-2023, 12:36 PM

The car was in an accident. Everyone is good.
During the restoration i had to decide what to do with the headliner.
I went with the black option (S775).

Here are some photos.

I actually bought a gloss black shifter. Replaces the silver OEM. Fitment is 9/10. Wanted to darken the interior and match the gloss black radio trim. Totally worth it.

Blue90 · 07-22-2023, 04:15 AM

Thsnks�� i m looking for black gloos interior trims to replace aluminium hexagon even alu hex dont look bad. I m looking the black gloss the same edition like mine black gloos radio trim,want the same everywere.
But i m not sure is that gloos black or piano black and can i find what i m looking for. I can wrap or paint maybe this alu hex but i m not sure is that goint to give me the same look. Btw, is piano black in serire 4 from wood?

Only thing to realize about glossy black interior trim is possibly horrible sun glare, especially from the dash trim and iDrive section. Fingerprints and scratches are also very visible. Glossy black is one of those that you can never keep clean. Was one of the reasons I never changed my aluminum trim on those exact spots. Went with carbon everywhere else.
