B0B Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Have a look at the leather can you tell the difference ? Nappa is "supposed" to be better, me im not 100% convinced lol Yes I think it's definitely Nappa, it's so soft compared to the "normal" leather I took out., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes I thought it was only the M3's that came with nappa too? Having sat in a few M's and a few non M's, you can definitely feel the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Its 100% not just Ms that got nappa as I have it in mine. I could be wrong on the individual leather though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah but yours is exclusive ain't it Ricky ? Have a look @ the brochure lol Yea indeed it is, exclusive yellow nappa, I'm guessing then nappa is only for exclusive and Ms, normal leather is montana and individual something else ?

B0B Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) When I bought the interior last week I enquired about the front armrest. The seller provided it as it is nappa and my standard leather armrest doesn't match at all. The difference between my old leather (SE manual seats) and the individual leather is like night and day in regard to how soft and supple the new set is. I do think the standard leather is more hardwearing though. On another note, just picked the loon up from the Mot. Passed with only one advisory (rear brake pads will need changing before the next mot). I am relieved cos I have only had this car since around Sept last year and was hoping there would be no surprises.

B0B Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just to add to the confusion then. After a bit of digging it appears the individual leather is called merino leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintimperial Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 looking good. mine in for paint today. Was fitment ok with screws. any issues fitting? No major issues...the main thing is getting the holes made in the bumper before you screw them in... even jacked up there was no chance of getting a drill under there.. I tried just screwing them without making a hole first, but no chance! In the end used a little battery powered soldering iron I have to melt a small hole through the bottom of the bumper in each spot that needed a screw. once id done that it was piece of piss...just make sure you've pushed them on hard..the 3M tape that comes with them is useful for just holding them in place for a minute while you screw them but thats about all! Total fit time was about 40 mins including jacking the car up etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 From the comfort of my workshop i've been attacking the sound deadening with a heat gun and scraper. Still it was nice to daily the stripped out 318, even if the blue does draw some odd looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebgreen Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Drained coolant, properly. Lost the nut from the block drain when I tried to get out the way of the pouring coolant. Was searching for it for almost an hour. Mate noticed it stuck on-top of the skid plate. Lucky as was on phone to BMW to order a new one and they said a wait time of 5 days. Pretty easy actually. Just need 2 socket extensions and a universal joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
