►►► 2006 M5 OEM Complete Silverstone Interior◄◄◄
Upgrade Your Interior with the Rare OEM M5 Silverstone Option!
Hey guys, I will be swapping out the whole interior of my M5 with an extended leather option. I anticipate I will be doing the swap in 2-3 weeks and will have everything available then. This interior package would be awesome to add to any non-M E60 and the Silverstone color accents just add a certain classy yet sporty look.
Condition
Seats - My stock M5 interior has 96k on it now so the driver side seat and center console are showing normal wear however the rest of the interior is in good condition. The only other flaws are the thigh extenders on the front seats. Both units are not working and need new motors however after doing some research it sounds as if these parts could be swapped out for the ones on an existing sport seat. Honestly, I never use them so I never felt the need to replace them and you can still use them manually if needed. Lastly, the pass side front seat mat is on the fritz lately and will occasionally throw the airbag error. This is a very common problem with the E60s and for $50-$100 this can be fixed with the bypass modules available online. Since it just recently started happening I just haven't had the time to get it fixed. The back seats are in excellent condition as they have only seen use during my ownership a couple times.
Door Panels - As for the door panels, I do not have the extended leather so the door panels are the traditional style black but with the silverstone inserts. All door panels are in very good condition with a little wear on the arm rests for the two fronts. Rears are in excellent condition.
Headliner and Pillars - Headliner and pillars are not in alcantara however they are black in color which was a rare option for non-M model E60s and compliments the overall interior. The whole setup is in excellent condition. Will also include rear deck as well which is in great condition as well since the car has had tint and is stored in a garage.
Dash & Center Console - Dash is in good condition and has the HUD option so will have the cutout. Aside from that its just like your traditional non-M dash so unless you plan to add HUD, its probably not worth swapping. Center console base is black and the top leather is in silverstone. The arm rest area does show some wear and might be advised to replace, recondition or redye but that's just my opinion and I will openly admit I am a little OCD
Options
The coolest part about the M5 seats are the options, one in particular......Active Seats! Basically the active seat function works to hold you in the seat and keep you from sliding around while driving. I'm not sure if these can be programmed to work on a non-M but if so, it is a really nice option. The other options my interior includes is heated front/rear seats, folding rear seats and sunshades, which will be included.
Interior Items List
- All four door panels w/ sunshades
- Front seats w/ heating and active seat features
- Rear seats w/ heating and fold down features
- Center console
- Dash
- Black headliner and all pillar covers
- Rear deck panel
- No trim included (at this time)
I was thinking in the ball park around $1,500obo for all of the above mentioned parts and this would have to be a local SoCal deal. As a package deal I think this is a very fair price as buying the parts individually would be nearly twice the cost let alone trying to find such a rare interior color combo.
If people want individual parts, I may consider parting out as most of the parts are spoken for.

Could I use this to replace my E60 525i interior? Is the active seat feature a button on the seat or on the center control area?

For those asking, active seat adjustment is on the seat but the active seat button is actually on the dash next to the heated seat buttons. The only issue with the seats is that both thigh support extenders are not working however I am told you can use the motor from your old seats. Also, the pass side airbag seat mat is faulty. I am working with the dealer to get this covered by the recall.
