Last but not least... the one and only beige "dot" leather console lid. I have been trying to buy the leather for this project for about 3 years now, as well as hunting for beige dot leather sport seats. Funny, I used to think they were ugly. Blame Nathan Fong for changing my mind on the Dragon. At the beginning of this year I discovered that not only had they discontinued production of the heretofore unappealing beige dot leather but also there were only 2 of the seats left for the driver's side! Time to hurry up, belly up and pay retail.
Russell Schmoyer of Daniels BMW carefuly cuts the part numbers off the new sport seat boxes for me to keep.
For the record, they are: 52-10-9-070-635 and 6- "James Bond Edition" Beige Dot Leather

A quick peak in the box, yep, that's it.
Wonder who got the other one?

It could have been a major hassle to install for my favorite BMW technician- Frank Nehrer at Daniels BMW.
Frank is back from competing representing the US in the BMW Technicians Olympics in Munich in February. Here is Frank with all the competitors... and an elephant.... Frank is wearing a suit and tie!
I will surely pay for this later
