I'd love to retrofit the cf buckets into the F97...

just for shits and giggles.

My eBay part came in today. Unfortunately my shop is still trying to figure out how to install the MSS springs so hopefully I get the X back tomorrow.

Here are a couple of pics. There is a very slight scuff on the clear but you REALLY have to look hard to see it. I tried to get a close up for you guys. I'll upload more pics once it's installed.

Thanks to Ev0lutionx for the lead on this! Definitely worth the $250.

No worries. I too think it was well worth it for the price. No way I would have dished $1000 for this from the other sources.

The amount of business I brought to that seller, I should get something in return from them.

Agreed on all counts. Thanks to you a lot of us jumped on this one. I'll probably order some more CF stuff from them. You definitely deserve a finder's fee but you'll prob have to just settle with karma instead.

Fits like a glove!

How does the weave compare to the OEM already in the car?

Looks factory to me.

SCCThree · 04-13-2023, 09:16 PM

Looks the same to me. I'll try to get another pic tomorrow some factory CF in frame.

Got mine today. The weave is a perfect match and no imperfections. However I have two fitment problems - the clip on the armrest passenger corner won't catch so the whole piece sticks up a little on that corner and has some give. I may try to live with some double sided tape or try to get a replacement. Second, the cupholder cover catches on something and once closed you now have to lift up on the pull tab to get it back open. Not ideal and a shame since the pattern and carbon fiber are perfect.

Pic showing dash CF.

I'm going to order the CF piece that goes around the radio presets from the same ebay seller. I'll report back when I get it.

What was the EBay seller’s name again? Runnstar?

Yep. That's them. I offered $190 for the CF preset part. They countered at $195. Pulled the trigger.

Edit: Added pic of part from sellers ebay listing.

R BMW · 04-14-2023, 06:25 PM

Looks great guys.

VinnyA320 · 04-14-2023, 07:38 PM

Would like a report on the install and quality of the surround for the radio. May be interested in that as well.

I'll report back ASAP. Center console trim took 2 weeks so stay tuned. I think this piece with the factory dash CF and the aftermarket CF center console trim will complete the look. Looking forward to wrapping this up on a budget.

Same here. Curious if the piece around the radio pops out as easily as the center console piece.

SCCThree · 04-15-2023, 12:06 AM

We'll find out in a couple weeks.
