Rochester,

The 6MT armrest is too low, that's true. But at least it doesn't catch my elbow when shifting like the 335is one does.

thanks,

I ordered alcantara & perforated leather for the wheel with the alcantara on the sides. I chose all alcantara for the shift and e-brake boots as well as the armrest cover. I also went with the silver stitching to match the OEM seats.

rks, please post installed pics. I'd like to see how this parking brake boot turns out on your 6MT.

What's your interior, black or stone?

I'm curious about the ebrake boot fit as well. I have the black interior. I'm waiting on a steering wheel and will post pics as soon as everything is installed.

I ended up ordering:

Steering wheel cover with Alcantara & Perforated Nappa with silver stitching to match the OEM look.
e-brake boot in Alcantara with silver stitching
shift boot in Alcantara with silver stitching
arm-rest cover in Alcantara with silver stitching

The good: I received the items and for the most part they look pretty cool.

The bad: Items were shipped from Poland so it took almost a month to get to the US. The steering wheel cover that I specifically asked for in perforated leather (once again to match the OEM "S" seats was not correct. The armrest cover (with padding) covers the release button and I can't open the arm-rest. The e-brake boot will probably not be functional since any attempt to tuck it in the minuscule e-brake opening interferes with the e-brake itself. I'm not sure if I want to glue it anywhere yet. Trying to remove the old shift boot requires feats of finger strength and dexterity that I won't have until the spring or summer thaw. I also had to cut the felt and break about 8 plastic pins that hold the OEM shift boot in place.

Mike is willing to replace the steering wheel cover but I have to return the incorrect one on my dime and then wait for a replacement. I haven't received any word regarding the arm-rest cover and I'm on my own trying to figure out a solution for the e-brake cover.

The shift boot I ordered also took over 2 weeks to arrive as it was coming from Poland. There is no mention of this on their site that is apparent. They do not provide any method of tracking your package. The shift boot quality of leather is excellent but the pattern for the holes to mount it does not match. I ended up having to cut new holes and lines. Ill take a pic tonight on my way home and post the end result.

I noticed that a little as well. There was enough material to make it fit however.

Thanks, yeah I used a fabric pen to paint the stitches on the steering wheel red. I also refinished the trim ring around the shift boot by removing the chipped clear coat and shift pattern (which is on the **** now) then rebrushed the aluminum.

I'm going to do the seats and door panels in red stitching as well.
