The dash was plastic, as were the cheap chrome gauge rings and center console and all buttons, etc. This was a loaded model and it was the worst interior I have owned both in material quality and functionability.

And I was SOOOOOO not giving a shit. Headers + exhaust + top down was the muscle car experience and the interior never affected it. It was for fun driving, not comfy driving (the torsion bar and suspension had done away with comfort anyway).

Speaking of headers, the ones on this engine look tiny for the power. I wonder how much more a header swap would make?
You just described the interior on my $70k Z4. I would have had to pay extra $$ for the "extended leather" to get more than the seat surface in leather.
