Re: cloth trim? wot stlye is this called? can i get new cen

A lot of trim parts are no longer available, you can ask the parts for a number, even try a post on the Cotswold BMW section on here they may be able to help. Not sure if this will help but I have some seats from E-bay in mine Silver Grey spec code 0270 http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5141/563613422...
