bmw door panels are black on top with cinnamon in the middle insert and black on the bottom bin

aka the same as in the lexus
the bmw wheel is black the lexus will be black
the seats however i was going to do in black though

your point in now moot
well, thats funny, because i DO know what the extended leather package is, my brother and I were kind of shopping around for an e46 m3 as his beater car but we all know these new bmws just arent what they used to be.
So thanks for assuming i wouldnt know what trim packages are available to the m3 just because i own a lexus.

You will never achieve a look similar to the M3:
1. bc you lack the classy sporty aesthetic & taste level..ie. Rabbit fur???
2. Most of leather in the M3 is "cinnamon" almost none being black. So change ur armrests to cinnamon...itll look better.
3. SC's wood grain is horrible w/ the black and cinnamon...Make it satin/gloss black or something.
4. The SC's interior/exterior is too dated to pull off the look...IMO unless you start doing some decent int/ext modding.
5. Your leather quality is not even close to the M3's...it looks very different.

It looks good in the dark fuzzy pics, but cheap in the clear pictures so far. I like that you took a risk tho, and hope it finishes nicely.

Cant say i love it but its different , def would of went with another color besides that brown some parts are ok others are not, you can see some of the stitching/staples under the center console makes it look half @ss, might want to redo it again or tuck it in better...over all looks good, just my opinion keep it up

Its because the center console is half assed back in and I have so many wires it makes it stick up. However I didn notice that after i took the pics so ill be pressing the trim down better here in a week or so when I need to get back in ther.
