Hi guys,
I am restoring an '88 E30 325i Mtech-2 and I need help with the interiors of the car.
Here is whats wrong with the interior:
- Aftermarket bucket seats are broken; they wont move and recliner is busted so I'm looking at a full seat rebuild.
- I need to re-upholster the seats
- Dashboard cracks need to be fixed
- Climate control panel needs to be replace; busted lights & cracks in it
- Driver side & passenger side A/C vents don't lock into place. So I would need 2 new vents.
- Hazard button, A/C & Re-circulation button, Circuit Breaker Switch & 1 Window button needs to be replaced
- Interior lights don't work
Then there are small things like the ash-tray in the center console and E-Brake handle & boot needs replacing etc.
First, I would like to know a respectable interior restoration shop that can fix the cracks and do the upholstery.
Second, I would like to know if there is a way of sourcing these interior parts for cheap.
Based on a few preliminary quotes, COMPLETE interior restoration can cost about 10,000 AED to 12,000 AED. Does this budget sound right? or can I get it done for cheaper?
