There's a company on evilbay that offer mohair hoods fitted for £499. They're based in Essex. The seller is called 'hothoods', I can't get the URL off mobile eBay, not sure if this'll work:

I've no idea what the quality is like but looks ok from the pictures.

Be aware that these hoods come with a fixed rear window, not the usual zip in type that BMW supply. If it comes to having the rear window replaced in years to come it is much more expensive as the window has to be sewn in and neccesitates removing the hood from the car.
Thought you should be prewarned before parting with your cash.

I've been promising myself a new hood since last year, but would really like one with a zip in window, can you get these as aftermarket or are they an OEM option only?
