Drives better than any turbo I have driven (Never got a shot in a GT2) and would run circles around my old 993TT.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i can't say where you can get the factory bits (i'm sure the price would be astronomical) but try Alan Gunn Leather (AGLA) in FL. years ago, they recovered my M5s steering wheel and shift ****/boot in black suede just like the M3 evo, and it looked very cool (functional too).
doesnt that stuff "flatten out" after awhile...imagine your oil or sweat glands leaving a stain or pattern all over that alcantara. I had a momo steering wheel in one of my previous cars back in 1993, and after 6 months it looked like hell....cant imagine driving around with gloves and longsleeved shirts everytime I drove that car.
Alcantara or also known, I believe, as Ultra Suede is basically cloth material made to look and feel like real suede (without the smell). Alcantara is not leather based!
Durability of the alcantara is very....very good compared to real suede as in the Momo steering wheel. You can clean the alcantara with damp cloth (unlike suede)
HTH,
What was the cost of that GT3 above? Looked pretty stripped down from the interior pics. I would have to imagine it was in the 105-106K range..
I just got mine 2 days ago and the car is UNREAL. Drives better than any turbo I have driven (Never got a shot in a GT2) and would run circles around my old 993TT. If you are buying that or have bought it, good luck and enjoy!
