I have a 2005 E83 3.0 liter with 6 speed manual in Flamingo Red.
Right now it has about 53,000 miles and I plan on keeping the bimmer for a long time. Had it since new. The paint and body are very good to excellent.

On the interior the "A" pillar fabric is all loose and the bottom of the "B" pillars are faded/worn looking.

I want my bimmer looking great. The B pillar bottoms go for about $325 a piece and the A's are about $150

Q: Would you invest about $1,000 in cosmetic fixes with the understanding you were keeping the vehicle for many more years?
RUQRU; Why don't you go to an interior auto upholstery place & get an estimate on them fixing your issue(s) I believe they will be able to fix this MUCH cheaper than trying to buy these replacement parts from BMW.
