I just did the IND RKP Carbon Fiber Center Console install recently. A forum member had one. IND stopped selling them last year. It was made for the M3 Competition Edition as an OEM BMW part. The quality is nice, but the ash tray cover sits a little high and is not flush. This part costs $700-800. Not worth that much, since it is not a CF part, and is a wrap or overlay.

If you want the RKP part ask here on the forum and you might luck out. I did.

Try AutoTecknic ($600). ModBargins and others carry these parts. 2008 vs. 2009-2013 M3 parts are different.

An alternative is Karbonius in Spain, but you have to sent them a core. For the highest quality.

If you have the carbon leather interior trim, it will look nice. If not, then do the full interior trim kit ($1300).

Other choice is high gloss or matte CF. You lose the CF look if it is too glossy.

Cheers

I'm not aware of an RKP version sold by IND. They were selling the OE version from the M3 Edition cars but it was only compatible with DCT. The M3 GTS never had a CF center console.

No longer made by RKP as of mid-2018. The faded BMW label on the RKP part looks like it was printed on an old inkjet printer (B/W) and not in color (Blue/White).

Yes, M3 Competition Edition and not the GTS.

Autoteknic makes them for DCTs and 6spds, with full CF Trim.

It was never made by RKP. They just sourced and imported the OEM part via RKP. I have had two of these CF consoles. They are an OE BMW part.

It's the one thing I feel like is missing in my car other than an alcantara wheel and shifter boot
