The final time we checked in with Sreten from M539 Restorations, he was taking the inside of his E39 5 Sequence Touring aside and wished to switch its entrance seats with E38 7 Sequence seats. Not solely had been the brand new seats higher and extra snug, they had been additionally extra supportive. Nonetheless, the seats themselves had been in fairly tough form and the leather-based appeared drained at finest. So he took it aside and deliberate on bringing the seats to specialists who might revive them again to life. On this new video, we get to see that course of and finish outcomes. It’s fairly wonderful.
His grey leather-based seats had been virtually black in some areas and virtually white in others, resulting from being each soiled and worn. They weren’t the prettiest of seats they usually clearly wanted a ton of labor. I by no means knew leather-based may very well be restored from such situation, both. The seats regarded gnarly however the execs that Sreten labored with had all of the solutions for restoring them to their authentic glory.
First, they began by simply cleansing the leather-based, which made an enormous distinction by itself. They then utilized varied completely different merchandise to not solely assist repair the leather-based but in addition redye it again to its authentic colour. The colour match was additionally completely good, which is fairly wild to see. Even a small gap within the leather-based was full of what they known as liquid leather-based, they usually had been even capable of replicate the unique grain within the patch earlier than dying it. Severely spectacular stuff.
Along with fixing the leather-based high quality, Sreten additionally wished to switch the liquid therapeutic massage perform bladders from LCI seats to his pre-LCI seats. So he took it to a different specialist who fully took his newly refurbished seats aside, broke down an LCI seat, after which transferred the goodies from the newer seat to the older one.
After the seats had been mounted and refurbished, and whereas they had been nonetheless out of the automobile, Sreten cleaned the remainder of the inside, bringing it again to like-new situation. He additionally put in a really cool, factory-option slide-out tray within the trunk. After it was all cleaned and reassembled, he put the seats again in and it regarded completely brand-new. He additionally changed the getting old wooden trim with a trim known as “Technical Graphite” which regarded superior.
Watching this E39 5 Sequence go from being genuinely gross on the within to trying prefer it belongs in a BMW dealerships showroom, circa 2003, is extremely satisfying. Have a watch.
