740i_Lou 5 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) So other than other than the bolt covers on the engine cover and the lid for the jump start terminal, she's back together. Still in need of a good detailing, but she looks alot cleaner. Also attacked the interior with some leather cleaner and then use some moisturizing protector spray. Came up pretty mint. Especially in the rear. The leather has been well looked after for most part of its life. The photo's don't really show the colour but it has a purple tint to it. Kind of an interesting colour which I wasn't overly thrilled with at the start but its grown on me and I feel it goes really well with the other colours around the car. BTW, please excuse the random black dots in all the photo's. I'm using my Experia Z and apparently its a common fault. Will be sending it back at some stage.

Eagle 1524 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Looks good. I actually prefer the E38 looks over E39 more so when its all stock Are you going to colour code the bottom areas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
740i_Lou 5 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Not at this stage. I quite like the two tone. Think the black compliments the Mojave nicely. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've wanted to do a 2 tone interior on mine for ages. A mix of black with your color. I think it would go well with the navara violet color of my car.

yng_750 247 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Might be worth looking at the options list. My 740i had a purple tinge to the leather in the right light. Turned out they had optioned water buffalo leather which coat an extra 10k. Has very different care and cleaning requirements and easily absorbs water. Easiest way to tell is water buffalo seats dont allow seat heating pads. Sent from my GT-I8160L using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
