Wash Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I (finally) got round to fitting a leather interior to replace my old cloth one. Here's what it looked like before: (not sure what all the fluff is in this picture lol) Here's what it looks like with the new seats: Driver seat bolster is a bit worn (will get it fixed at some point) but the rest of the interior is mint. You might notice that I didn't change the door cards, this was because I fitted the door cards that came with the leather interior but I preferred the old door cards, looked way better so I changed them back to the old ones. Oh, and the rear driver side door card isn't fitted properly, I ran out of the grommets that holds it in place - will need to buy some more grommets and re-fit the door card.

Wash Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Very nice! Why new engine, did it die?The head gasket needed replacing on the old engine which had done 129,000 miles which isn't a huge amount but I didn't feel like spending £500 or so on fixing the head gasket. I found an engine that had only done 47,000 miles and had that put in which means a huge peace of mind as far as the engine is concerned. This is a BMW, he can't die nice carHaha, thanks dude. Well, you would be suprised. The car I have (318Ci) uses a 2.0 petrol engine (engine code N42B20), which is, if I am honest, a very poorly designed engine.
