A lot of work went into re doing the interior, but I’m happy with the result. Lotus white over Atlantic blue, not a very common combination.
Interior is finally finished

Someone already said it but the word fits…. Stunning
Blue and white as a combo is soo fitting from a BMW!
Really nice.
Did they leather wrap the door arm rests, or are the painted in some way?

Ok,
I have to say it.
Is that just me, or?
The interior looks outstanding beautiful, but is that usable?
You can't sit in just with a jeans, cause seats become blue...
Do you want to drive that (really beautiful) car, or should that be just a trailer queen?
Sorry, I don't will bother you, but that question burn my minds since I saw it.

That's why everyone in the United States wears painter's coveralls when we drive. So our blue jeans don't dye our interiors blue.
no one with jeans Is allowed in the car!! the previous owner dyed the original interior black because he could not keep it clean, I agonized over this, I looked at many colors but in the end I went with Lotus Because it is how the car originally came. I will be looking at products that might ease the maintenance, and yes De Quincy after the photos I went to the gas station, and by the way the Zeniths are working great Thanks to you.
Practical or not, the workmanship on your upholstery looks really amazing. Who did the work on it?
So I used SIDCO in Mountain View California for all the leather work, the door cards had to be striped of the black dye and all the pieces re dyed, and for that I used Ricks recovery, who is in my opinion the best, I picked the color ( there are a lot more shades of white than I ever thought possible) and did the final assembly, ,sourcing some of the NLA interior parts is daunting(,Thanks SFDon and Dlc)
Beautiful, striking contrasts really. But I would definitely NOT let poodles ride around in it! 
I was very happy with the work SIDCO did
the work does look excellent. thanks for telling us who did the work, i checked and we already have SIDCO in the FAQ - top sources
Tazio--Your lotus white interior is outstanding. My tan interior was installed by the PO in Hawaii in 2006. He did not put the map pockets back in since they were beaten up. The door cards were done in leather and the armrests were a very close match. The original interior was also tan leather,but the door and kick panels were vinyl. I was wiping the dirt off the armrest when the tan dye came off with just a moistened rag. That's why I had the armrests covered in matching leather. You should keep some spare leather if you decide to do the same in the future. I bought white vinyl map pockets with all of the mounting hardware on EBay. My interior shop--Shamrock Auto Trim- covered them in tan leather, and had the bellows dyed to match the tan leather.
