I am finishing up on my basement remodeling project and my wife has given me the OK to decorate the bathroom in a BMW theme.
The bathroom has a whirlpool tub and is kind of rustic with stained trim. As crazy as it sounds I would like to decorate with some vintage and modern stuff.
I found some towels on ebay any ideas where I can buy some other things?

You can frame the vintage bmw posters. I bought a few on ebay and I've also seen them available at the dealer...

You'll find "BMW style" at any recently constructed car dealer.
Black Pirelli "dots" floor tile, quarry tile flooring in shop, etc.

I'm going to move this over to Campfire. This forum is really for people that are looking for help with the forum. :)

This is EXACTLY what I did... between my love for BMW motorcycles and my obsession for all things Art deco... having them proffesionaly framed was well worth the expense!

When I was in Sweden I used a Huskevarner (?) tiolet, I dont believe BMW made one because of surging problems. I will stop the fecal decorating. :hungover

Check this place (http://www.hollywoodposterframes.com/) out. I had a bunch of Broadway posters that were a weird size. Everyone I talked to wanted $50< a piece to frame them. The gal that runs this place is great, I bought one of her cheapest ebay aucions (4/$49 IIRC) and they are great. Even UV resistant plexi, acid free backing etc.
btw, If you buy something, anything, from DOMI Racer, they send you a poster every couple of months, with their specials on the other side. Mostly brit-bike stuff, but nice. I just got a great exploded-view AMAL poster, with part numbers.
Oh, and btw-II, I think you can order a TON of stuff from BMW Mobile Traditions (http://www.bmw.com/generic/com_04/en/fascination/discover/history/mobiletradition/_pdf/Accessories_Katalog_2005.zip). IIRC, it's kind of pricey, but it's THE stuff.
