Interior Carbon Modernization
I touched on how BMW designed arguably one of the worst looking interior of all time with the pre-LCI E60 on my build journal entry here and the installation process and finished work here.
Made from brand new OEM trims using OEM quality pre-preg & autoclaved carbon fiber
René hand manufactures these kits using brand new, OEM trim kits from BMW in Germany to ensure perfect fitment. No core exchanged is required. The dash trims comes with brand new air vents as well.
He uses the same manufacturing process as BMW M GmbH did on the CSL carbon fiber trim components: pre-preg & autoclaved overlays on the plastic OEM trims.
The pre-preg and autoclaved manufacturing process, commonly called dry carbon, allows for a very thin application of carbon fiber, and is notoriously stronger than hand laid, wet carbon fiber applications.
Additionally, pre-preg provides a much more consistant carbon fiber pattern we've come to expect from high quality carbon manufacturers.
Factory Matching CSL 1x1 Carbon Weave Pattern
The trims are available in 1x1 and 2x2 weave pattern. The 1x1 weave pattern is selected by René to precisely match the OEM CSL 1x1 weave pattern that was used by BMW GmbH.
You can opt for an OEM finish with a 2 component, hardened gloss clear coat, or opt for a contemporary matte clear coated finish. The gloss finish is wet sanded and polished to remove any surface imperfections.
