Finished my OEM style interior- before/afters- E92 LCI M Sport
I finally got all the parts installed, last holdout was a shift knob. Ended up with the 'ZHP' weighted one from the E46 via Tischer. I love it.
The goal was to keep it OEM but make it sportier and more unique. I especially wanted to create some contrast. Not that I ever thought it was bad looking to begin with. Here is a list of things I did (all OEM): -BMW Performance: ---Electric alcantara steering wheel V2 ---E-brake, alcantara boot ---Alcantara shift boot ---Aluminum pedals -Brushed aluminum trim kit -'Euro' split armrest (giant PITA to install in an E92) -E46 'ZHP' weighted shift knob -Rubber floor mats, carpeted on drivers' side -Added Logic7 tweeter to dash mid-range (not visible) All ordered from Tischer/getBMWParts. I am very happy with these upgrades and would recommend any/all of them. My favorites are the aluminum trim, Performance pedals, and split armrest. BEFORE (100% stock M sport pkg) AFTERS

Did you do the installation for the steering wheel yourself?

Thank you for the comments.
Yes! I would love to get some BMW Performance seats; even though I'm not afraid to spend money, they'd cost double what all the other interior mods already cost me (I did these upgrades over the course of a year, BTW). Maybe I'll get some Recaro Sportster CS at some point w/ VAC seat mounts. BMW Performance seats are based off of those, after all. Quote:
Perhaps - the ZHP knob certainly has a better feel than the M Sport knob it came with though. It's slightly heavier and taller. There is a more positive feeling entering gears and the top is more rounded, which fits my shift style (over-the-top palm grip).

I like. Hows alcantara to the feel, every day use? Do you prefer it to the perf leather? I'm due to retrim my steering wheel (all scuffed from watch) and I have an option to get it as custom as i like. Appreciate your feedback.

Depends on where you're getting the steering wheel done, but I know bmwsteeringwheels.com can do parts of the wheel in alcantara for you (I think). Then you'd have the best of both worlds.
