DIY contrast stitching

I came across this on a local BMW page .. a guy is doing his e46 m3 .. everyone was in awe thinking he had re-sewn everything but it's much simpler than that. just thought i'd pass this along in case anyone thinks this would be awesome. really not a bad idea, but not sure if i'll be doing it.

that looks like it would take some time, but in the end def would look pretty slick if done right, but man that would be dedication IMO

very tedious but looks like a very nice outcome! that being said, i won't be doing it. two kids in diapers (and their mom) will make sure i do no such thing.

Lol it does sound sarcastic. But no I think someone with an E92 M3 did it at one point. It looked perfect.

Interesting. Definitely would take some time. An easy yet time consuming way to add some interest in an interior

it's also something you could do in stages, you wouldn't have to do it all at once which makes it much more manageable for busy people.
