Throughout their history, BMW has offered some very beautiful wood appointments in their vehicles. The wood found in the 2800 and 3.0 were fine examples of the early statements BMW was making with their woodwork and that tradition continues with the models BMW produces today.
We at Madera Concepts are proudly dedicated to doing our part in maintaining the BMW “Heritage” by helping you get the wood trim in your BMW looking “Showroom New”.
If the wood in your BMW is showing its age, give us a call, we are at your service! 800-800-1579 7am to 3:30pm PT Mon - Fri.

The most popular BMW woodwork we repair, refinish or reveneer and refinish is for the 2800 / 3.0, the 3 Series, the 5 Series and the 7 Series.
And of those, the most popular upgrade is requested by owners of 735i BMW’s. No offense intended, but those models came with a rather plain straight grained walnut, and there is a very high demand from 735i owners, to have their wood veneer changed to a very beautiful Burled Walnut. |

Burled Walnut - Shown for General Reference ONLY. Due to the variations that occur naturally from tree to tree, grain patterns and color can vary greatly.
|
For the the 3 Series, the 5 Series and the 7 Series Refinishing is generally required, but occasionally we get in a set that needs both Reveneering and Refinishing. No matter the condition of your wood, we can help you.
Below is some general criteria about Refinishing and Reveneering.
If the wood in your BMW 2800 / 3.0 is showing its age, you have some options.
If the base wood and the wood veneer on the face of the parts is in good enough condition, we can Refinish them for you. See example pictured below: |
|
The clear on these 3.0 Door panels is in poor condition, but the face veneer is still intact and in good enough condition for us to Refinish them. |
| If the base wood “substrate” is in good condition, but the wood veneer on the face of the part is having trouble, we can reveneer and refinish your parts for you. (You could even have us change the veneer from the original straight grained veneer....to a beautiful Burled Walnut.) Check out the completed parts further down the page. |
 |
If you look closely at this Gauge panel from a 3.0, you will see that the the wood veneer on the face of the part has actually come off the part....exposing the layers of the plywood underneath. You can also see raised horizontal splits in the veneer that are where the veneer has cracked, and buckled outward which is a sure indication that the veneer is coming unglued. |
| In some cases our customers have asked us to fill the speaker hole, which we can do when reveneering or refinishing your parts. Or, if you are ordering a new set, you could ask us to leave out the speaker hole if you do not want it. |
|
Lastly, yet probably the most important option available to you is the Replacement option. We at Madera Concepts offer replacement woodwork for the 2800 / 3.0. Many times, either some or all of the woodwork in these cars are in really bad condition. So bad, that repair, refinishing or reveneering are not good options.
Typically the parts have gotten wet again and again and have literally started to rot and fall apart. But not to worry, we can help you. We produce replacement woodwork for your 2800 / 3.0 and not just some, but all the parts. We can make you replacement parts and veneer them in the stock straight grained wood. (you may have us manufacture the odd part and we will choose a veneer and stain color to “compliment” a sample part of your existing woodwork, however we always recommend that you have us do all the parts at one time......guarantying the best possible wood grain pattern and color match. Or we can make you one of our new O.E.M. Replacement sets using a gorgeous Burled Walnut as the face veneer. (Must be purchased as a full set.) |
|
| If you look closely, you can see that the clear, the veneer and many layers of the plywood substrate on these parts has rotted completely off. |
| Here are pictures of completed parts: In this case, our customer chose some very special figured walnut and a satin finish. |

What’s more, we manufacture a new replacement “lower deck tray panel”!!!! This the panel that is covered in vinyl on the passenger side and is often pretty rotted away.
Not only do we manufacture that panel, but we manufacture replacement “Accent Strips” (those little divider strips that are mounted in the slots in the vinyl side).
AND, we manufacture replacement Deck panel mounts, those pesky “T” shaped blocks of wood with a nut in them, that always seem to break to bits because the mounting bolt has rusted itself into the nut. |
