Pics needed: Hex w/ Blue Trim Interior + Carbon Fiber accents?

DriverJ · 11-04-2021, 12:42 PM

I've seen interior panels that have the "Hexagon" silver and blue accent panels and really like the look of it. I've found a way to get all of the OEM blue accent pieces to swap into my car, but I'm also looking at doing the CF Shifter, Ebrake and possibly the alcantara with CF shifter surround.

I'm hoping someone else who has the hex w/ blue accents interior has added some Carbon fiber bits (shifter, etc) and how they look with it so I can decide if this is the route I want to go before I start putting down $ on the parts.

Is there really no one who has the hexagon/with blue accents that also has a Carbon fiber shifter, and Carbon fiber shifter surround that wants to share pics?

I had the silver hex w/ blue trim lines but changed them immediately to CF wrapped ones with additional CF parts into the cabin.
So unfortunately for you no pics were taken before the wrapping. You could search for the "dinoc-421" thread, there are maybe some before/after pics from several users.

I think the hex/blue combo is kinda rare. You got lucky.

I love it by the way. I tried to find some on eBay but got tired of waiting for a set to show up.

We have a few offers via ebays in Germany but Im affraid that the shipping would eat up your price advantage. Hex/blue is almost present at cars in between 2014 and 2015, later on BMW discontinued the installation and you had to order it separately.

yeah I wanted the hex silver/blue trim combo in my car, but I've got hex/silver. I've got a lead on where I can get a full set to swap my interior, but wanted to see what others interior may have looked like. I might just have to pull the trigger on it.

I think it'll look good with my alpine white car

(white/blue is a combo I've always liked)

Is this what your looking for? I was trialing forged CF wrap on shifter trim and on wheel.

Just curious did you turn up the sharpness on that image? The dash just looks a lot more textured than I'd expect in pictures.

Very similar to what I was hoping to see, I wanted to get an idea if adding CF accents were too much with the hex and blue trim.

The Ru · 03-16-2022, 06:01 AM

Yeah i was really kicking around what i wanted to do. With the silver hex, blue, brushed aluminum, gloss black and matte black, there is a lot going on. I was afraid of adding another color/texture, but covering the aluminum was what i was trying to do. I've left it so far, but thought of getting blue vinyl as well.

I'm thinking I'm going to order the hex/blue interior trim and see if I can find a way to separate it, and maybe do a carbon/m performance upper section instead of the hex blue. Just musing ideas right now, but I'm sure I want the blue trim.

I dont get it and you got me scratching my head...
Any trim is able to wrap with CF, I had done this and it was a cool mod. When you are really keen and want to go for the real deal with the OEM BMW carbon fiber panels and change the black to the blue, thats a piece of work to do.
So whats your preference at least? Having hex w/blue, CF with black or a mixture?

I've got Hex and Silver trim right now. I'm thinking a more flat finish carbon with the blue accents at the end of the day since I have the M Sport interior bits on the steering wheel, shifter and shifter surround.

Also was the blue speaker surrounds after market or was that part of the blue trim package too?

Go to the DIY section and search the "421 dinoc" thread, there are plenty of pics with wrapped panels and CF.

Are they street legal? What happens when you got an accident and the belts failed their purpose?
