I've got some fully-functional pieces taking up space in my garage that I'll trade for good beer. Includes the following: 1. Two shift surrounds and center console, in trade for one 12 oz. bottle of good IPA. I'll even throw in one removable center console with working coin holder. 2. Full glovebox with no sag! This will require a 12-pack of Guinness or Sierra Nevada Porter. 3. Rear package shelf with support strings. Sixer of Anchor Steam will do. 4. Inside hatch pieces, including brand new side pieces (I waited six weeks for these from the dealer!) and an unbroken lower/large piece. I'll even through in a pair of the trunk side felts (one is perfect; the other not quite as firm) and a so-so pair of door thresholds and the trunk corner pockets. Gimme a 22 oz. bottle of Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Stout or a properly cared-for Pliney the Elder. 5. Pair of 1998 Sport Anthracite interior rear seat backs, including the headrests. I'll even throw in the side bolsters and matching Sport side panels (I robbed the clips/brackets). Surprisingly, I'll forgo my love of dark-n-thick ale for these items; a twelver of Heineken will help slake my thirst on those hot days my wife makes me do yard work. 6. Pair of tan sun visors, oh-sh** handles, lights etc. Will throw in driver side footwell speaker cover for a good offer. 7. Passenger side gray door grab/handle. Perfect. 8. Rearview mirror. Free with purchase of two items. This is all pretty big stuff that I won't pack-n-ship. So take a trip to the beautiful Central Coast city of San Luis Obispo and let's make a trade! If not gone by the first of September, I'll toss it all. __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop. CA-legal swapped S52 from '98 M3, and ZF transmission with lightened flywheel/clutch.

We talking PBR price's yet? J/k those things are already at a hell of a discount, those package trays are expensive elsewhere. And just try to find one when you need it. Nicely written. If you were closer I'd bring you your swill. | | | 08-25-2017, 05:53 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: SLO, CA Posts: 168 | PBR... I just vomited a little in my mouth ;-) Reminds me of Schmidt Sport-Packs in college! __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop.

However, I've found that there's just not really any demand for Sandgrau interiors unless you have a parcel shelf or the very few interior pieces that are hard to find in good condition. I have practically two complete Sandgrau interiors sitting in my storage unit that I can't seem to give away. Personally, I prefer the lighter interior- doesn't get anywhere near as hot as black in a So. Cal. summer! __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | 08-27-2017, 01:31 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: SLO, CA Posts: 168 | Yeah, I'm with ya on the heat-gain of black interiors in CA.

Here is a picture of my back seat; what I'm offloading is a matching set of seatbacks (with headrests), side seat bolsters, and side panels. They're sitting in our spare bedroom and my wife wants 'em out! __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop.

I'm not quite ready to accept Coors Light yet, since I'd rather give it away. But I hope someone (who is relatively nearby!) can use this stuff... there's a community clean-up/bulk-trash-from-your-curb event in two weeks and I promise I'll clear it all out.
