Although the first clip is not present, the entire piece is solid, no creaks and I'm super happy. It is a very nice mod and most definitely brings the interior up a notch. Huge thanks to r33_RGSport and Violator , as well the entire community for the help and insight!

Few before and afters..

OK, I can't resist any longer. I want to do this mod. RGSport, can you help me? I need the same ones, nappa ivory.

Are you ready for the price??

Approximately it will cost you about $900.
PM me last 7 of VIN if you are ready for that and I'll find out the exact cost and ETA.

Not sure this'll work, but...
There are a few good pics of the retrofit in this thread:

Installed mine this weekend. Like many others, struggled with the passenger side, but other than that it was a breeze. Dropped one of the metal clips at the back to the console down inside somewhere. Couldn't find it without taking the rear climate controls area off. Oh well, no rattles so far!

Thanks to Ben at r33_RGSport for the super quick turn around and the DIY. Thanks to Violator who knew I needed these before I did, and to maDjzo who's pictures took me to the dark side

Looking sweet.

No wonder BMW upping the price to rip us some more.

Installed my Nappa Black Leather kneepads this weekend. Couldn't be more pleased with the results. Adding in the MP CF Console and Shifter Trim all summed up to potentially my favorite mod to date. Even my wife mentioned the lofty investment was well worth it, which made me double take.

Thank you r33_RGSport for the precise DIY instructions! This was pretty straight forward and took me roughly 90 minutes. Maybe a little slower than others however I typically read instructions 5x before executing. No broken clips or lost screws. I also needed to use a long flat head screwdriver to shimmy that passenger side front clip so thanks to multiple members for that tip!

My only observation is that the stitching from the other existing Nappa black pieces from the Individual Mocha package is slightly off, however I will be just fine...

Happy modding!!!

Thanks Ben! Just installed mine. Very happy with the new look.

I put mine in today and the passenger side was a nightmare. In the end I cut the front clip off and after that is was really straightforward!

jdarmstrong · 12-14-2019, 01:49 AM

Are these available in Dakota leather?

Yes. Dakota and Napa. Just limited in the color.
If you want to PM me your last 7 of VIN. I'll check for you.

BV 50ANA · 12-26-2019, 02:48 PM

looks great....can you please post more pictures, where the entire interior can be seen?
because i have the same mokka brown interior, with oem carbon fiber + alcantara, and i am not sure what to choose: nappa black (stitching is a little bit different, yes i am aware), or maybe alcantara knee pads, or to get a used pair and change the leather with mokka brown and the right stitching....
thanks

momoboy · 12-30-2019, 12:10 PM

Sent you a PM. Looking for Dakota Terra. Thanks!

Here is my mocha interior with Nappa Black kneepads. The stitching variance is faint and unnoticeable given the distance from the dash.

These are really nice but I just cant see spending over $800 on these. Crazy
