For my 1986 BMW 325e, I'd like to somehow get 4 yards of this fabric (circled in the attached picture), which is the side bolster material. I believe on RealOEM the part number is: 51921933101 (Upholstery cloth anthrazit 0186/0211/0262 X). On its website, it is the first one listed in item number 3. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=52_0847
All the companies I've emailed say BMW no longer makes it. Anyone know of someone who has an extra stash? Perhaps a close replacement? The last resort would be to pull it from other original seats.
Thanks!
Where to find this fabric?

Says it's in stock but do double check, If you need it for the bolsters check to see if Brutus has any.

You are not going to get yards of the stuff as unfortunately the anthracite bolster fabric for both the early checkerboard (150) and later houndstooth (211) is NLA from all suppliers. Although the centre fabric is available either as original or good reproduction the bolster material has not as-yet been reproduced. You can get most other colours, just not anthracite.amwafa wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 4:41 amFor my 1986 BMW 325e, I'd like to somehow get 4 yards of this fabric (circled in the attached picture), which is the side bolster material.

I have been looking for some time now as unfortunately there is not a large enough section on normal seats to do what I need and bolsters for Recaro LS are beyond even Brutus

Someone I know managed to get hold of so "Bubble Leather" it was at a price though so sometimes the Unobtainable is Obtainable......
