Revamping the Classic: Bandwerk Transforms BMW M3 E30 EVO Seat Fabric into Stylish Apple Watch Strap

The Iconic E30 M3 Seat Fabric Reimagined as the EVO Special Edition Apple Watch Band

BMW’s E30 M3 has cemented its legacy in the automotive world, and one of its most iconic features, the seat fabric from the Evolution model, has been repurposed by Munich-based Apple Watch band manufacturer Bandwerk. The limited-edition EVO Special Edition Apple Watch band pays homage to this classic car.

Made from Genuine E30 M3 Fabric

The EVO strap is crafted from original seat fabric taken from the BMW E30 M3 Evolution. The dark grey material is intricately woven with diagonal stripes in BMW M colors – blue, violet, and red. Each color symbolizes a unique aspect – blue for BMW, red for motorsport, and violet (later dark blue) representing the fusion of both.

During the late 1980s, BMW M used such interior fabrics to establish a visual link between their road cars and the racetrack. The E30 M3 Evolution’s interior was characterized by its simplicity, durability, and distinctive design. Bandwerk has now preserved and repurposed portions of this iconic fabric in a remarkable way.

Handcrafted and Limited to 999 Pieces

Every EVO band is meticulously handcrafted in Germany using authentic E30 M3 material. The production is strictly limited to 999 units, each accompanied by an engraved serial number and a certificate of authenticity. Packaged elegantly in a wooden box, each band is truly unique due to subtle variations in the fabric’s weave and pattern.

A Subtle Tribute to a Timeless Classic

The E30 M3 Evolution was purpose-built for racing homologation, featuring lightweight panels, enhanced aerodynamics, and a high-revving engine. Despite its performance focus, the car’s interior design exuded a sense of understated elegance.

Bandwerk’s EVO strap captures this blend of functionality and simplicity, offering a subtle nod to an era when M cars were synonymous with raw, mechanical precision.

Pricing and Availability

The EVO Special Edition Apple Watch band is priced at $159, with shipping from Germany to the U.S. taking approximately 3-5 business days. Additional charges include a 15% import duty and a $15 UPS service fee due to current tariff regulations for EU imports. To mitigate these costs, Bandwerk is offering a 15% discount on all Special Editions with the code “BMWBLOG15.”

With only 999 units produced, these bands have garnered attention from collectors worldwide. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of automotive history with the Special Edition Evo band.
