World Upholstery & Trim manufactures "cut and bound" carpet sets that will allow you to replace all the original carpet in your BMW E3 Sedan. "Cut and bound" carpet sets essentially pre-cuts the carpet material based on the original layout of the carpet being reproduced to allow for easy installation. The visible edges of the carpet are bound in matching or contrasting vinyl. We can manufacture these carpet sets using either the original carpet material (usually imported), other imported carpet materials or a more economical domestic (American) carpet material. As with any soft trim, some trimming may be required and while this can easily be installed by an amateur restorer, we still recommend professional installers.

Carpet F.A.Q.s

The BMW E3 Sedan's interior did not change significantly enough to change any of the carpeted area inside the car. The trunk carpet changed only because of the tool holder added on the right side of the trunk storage. There is a difference though between the interior carpet of the short wheel base sedans (most models) and the long wheel base sedans (L/Li models). World Upholstery currently only has patterns for SWB models. If you have a LWB model and you have the original carpet pieces still relatively intact, send us those pieces and we can make a carpet pattern out of it allowing us to manufacture carpet sets for LWB models.

These cut and bound carpet sets include all the carpet pieces necessary to completely replace all the original carpet in your BMW E3 Sedan. They are designed for easy installation with vinyl binding on the visible edges. These bindings can match or contrast (your choice) with the color of the carpet. These carpet sets can be manufactured using the following materials:

   a.) German Loop (original material)
   b.) American Cut Pile or Nylon Loop (alternative domestic material)

The carpet set that we can produce is only for short wheel base (SWB) models at the moment. We still have yet to acquire a pattern for long wheel base (LWB) carpets and thus are still unable to produce them. Sending us a complete set of carpet pieces in reproduceable condition will allow us to manufacturer that carpet.

These carpet sets can easily be installed by an amateur restorer. But due to factors like complete removal of the seats and removal of the old carpet, we still highly recommend the use of professional installers. These kits are "made-to-order" meaning we do not keep them in stock and are placed in the production line only when an order is placed. Depending on the current mass of orders in the production line (varies seasonaly), it can take 7-10 business days before it can be manufactured and shipped. Make sure to add shipping time when calculating the number of days it will take for the seat kit to reach you after ordering.

These cut and bound trunk carpets can replace the original trunk carpet in your BMW E3 Sedan. There are no real installations involved as these carpets are designed to be removable to gain access to the area underneath. The binding around the trunk carpet can match or contrast (your choice) with the color of the carpet. The only difference between the two trunk carpets is that area that was cut-off because of the addition of the tool holder on the right side of the trunk. These trunk carpets can be manufactured using the following materials:

   a.) German Loop (original material)
   b.) American Cut Pile or Nylon Loop (alternative domestic material)
