Has anyone out there done a suede headliner, or seen one on an E61?

I'm strongly considering doing a black Alcantara headliner on my '08 E61 with the panorama sunroof.

Ya I told them today that I'd like to move forward with suede headliner in black. I'll post pix as soon as I have updates. Since the car is getting painted right now and the headliner is off right now, it'll be that much easier...

Well here's an example, but I think it's safe to say it's a bit overkill...

I was going to make fun of the speedo that goes up to 400 km/h until I saw the video of their 359 km/h run!!!

I'm in love! For sure going with black.

I have the light gray door pillars though, so I'll probably have to do something about that down the road...
