Black Headliner for the i3

Is there anyway to get a blackheadliner in the i3. I have the black headliners in all of my 4 pf my 5ers for the last 12 years and I like them a lot.

Sure if it's available in your country as an option, if not you'll have to import it but that's not cheap, then you will have to buy all the black trimmings, like "A" and "B" pillar covers, sun visors and everything else that attaches to it so your looking at lots of money, then you have to install it, which if your not careful you'll bend the headliner in which you'll crease it and have a trench running around in your new headliner that you can't remove.

I did it in my Mini Cooper and it was a huge pain in the ass. Lots to swap and lots of tabs to screw up.

If you want the dealer to do it you'll pay dearly for it.

If the black headliner is available in Europe, my dealer will likely be able to get it as a special order option. I have gotten special order options with my BMW's in the past provided that the option was available for the German market. For example my 2014 550i was special ordered with a leather dash which is an option available in the German market. And prior to that I got a special order black headliner for a 2010 550i.

Black headliner is not an option in any countries on the BMW i3. If you search there should be a post from a guy that made his own in alcantara. BMW just displayed a concept car at the Paris motorshow, a spesial design i3 with black headliner, could be it is coming as an option now.

Ooooo thats sexy. Totally want that.

I tried ordering the black alcantara header on the F10 last year. Its a normal option on the M5 and since I was doing a full individual package car I figured no big deal. In fact it was actually a normal individual package option a few years back and I was request a whole lot more question things. They said yes to everything but one option... Yeah they said flat out no to the headliner. No reason. No explanation. Just flat out no. Even full individual wasn't enough apparently. Good luck getting any kind of custom headliner from BMW. They seem to be stingy all of the sudden with the good stuff. When I did my post purchase survey I said the one thing I want to see as an improvement on the i3 was an option for a black Alcantara header. Still dreaming...
