Alcantara Interior
I want to get the whole front dash, headliner, and b-pillars wrapped in alcantara with the blue stitching from IND. do you see any disadvantages by having all this alcantara? Similar to what the ice blue m235i that IND.

Yes, it's a chunk of money that you will ovepay for and will never see again. M2 is a 50-60K car, no reason to try and make it a 80k car.

Plus, it would require dismantling most of the interior... Big potential for rattles If you have the cash I would definitely do it though Alternatively there's a few companies which offer more simple solutions to the interior (Alcantara/Leather Dash cover, Alcantara Trim Pieces, etc.) |

I think I am going to just go with gauge cluster and arm rest. Then that should complete the interior mods. |

Not that I think m2 should have more leather, however it doesn't hurt to have less plastic. Many 30k cars have front dash leather wrapped. The only concern is the quality of the job. Something messed up, it's not reversible.

Option 1 These guys are based in the Netherlands and offer both LHD and RHD solutions either in Alcantara or Leather for 1M style dash cover. I bought the leather cover and it was delivered after 1 week. These guys posted on the forum some time ago but got a lot of shit from people roasting their products. Some of their products are not great, I agree but I can definitely vouch for the dash cover Option 2 UK based, offer Hydro Dripping and Alcantara Wrap Solutions |

- Release the steering wheel and pull it towards you all the way. Adjust the wheels to the lowest position - Remove the 2 torque screws (Torque bit T20) from the upper/iner side of the speedometer/tachometer clock. Be Careful! - Press the Alcantara or leather casing on the existing dashboard-housing. You might have to apply a lot of pressure - Reinstall the speedometer/Tachometer Clock As my M2 keeps getting postponed (due end of May now ) I'm yet to try it out... I might temporarily try it on the M240i for fitment purposes however |
