Considering this interior kit for my 04' 545i SMG. It would look stellar with my black interior and titanum silver exterior.
has anyone bought one form RoverActive on ebay.
take a look is 8 bills a good price?

OMG, that is so expensive. I just bought a complete set off ebay (standard titanium) for like $150 and am planning to do a custom paint job.
I've ordered from Garry and Roveractive also. And Let me tell you. I believe Garry has the best prices for new OEM parts.
I did order the brushed aluminum set from Roveractive, he's a nice guy and worked with my through some minor problems, but his prices are way too high.
Give Garry a call and he'll hook you up.

Nice......Thanks for all the input guys. I'm gonna give Garry at newport a call. I also thought the RoverActive Trim kit seemed pricey but wasn't sure as I just started looking around.
N e one have Garry's number or can you just call Newport BMW and ask for him?

Hey nigxdoof,
How was fitment on the brushed aluminum set you purchased? Was it real aluminum or plastic? What problems did you have?
Thanks-a-mill

Fitment was perfect. Its OEM parts. Only problem I had was the door sills. They were so hard to get off, the original wood trim.
Also its made of aluminum, not plastic.
Once the old parts were on, I put the new ones on, and used some glue / locktite to just make sure it stays on and viola. You're set.
And trust me, its a great upgrade.
As for Garry's info, look at the top of this forum section, in Parts Accessories and Mods. There's a sticky with all his info.
Good luck, and post pics. I've been meaning to post pics of my interior, but ihaven't gotten a chance. Will do so once I wash the car and possibly get new rims.

I can't blame you...I would have trouble driving too if I had to look at old man wood.
