has anyone got or know of anyone who's selling a sport interior including door cards. ive just bought a 325i sport and the front seats have seen better days. they need to be mint as i want to have the car in tip top shape within a few months, its having a full respray and a decent but suttle ice install.

Two things,

1. cloth sports seats in my opinion are rare thus difficult to find. I spent £210 on cloth sports seats without door cards so you can use that as a guide.

2 If your trying to match an existing patten it is going to be even harder.

Just a pointer... those seats in the pic you posted aren't 325i Sport spec seats... they are out of a 318iS. The Sports didn't have that check pattern cloth.

Hope you find a decent set... probably be better off trying to find a leather set to be honest, as cloth front seats, in good condition, are hard to find.

as said. the ones on ebay are from a 318is.

fairly nasty, and not worth anywhere near what he is after. try £200 maybe.

the proper sport type are normally the grey cloth with diagonal black stripe, they have more of a value.

to be honest i havent driven the car properly yet as it needs new bushes in the rear axle but from what ive seen the drivers seat has a small wobble i havent properly looked into it yet to see if anythings broke or if it just needs tightening up. but as for the cloth it deffinatley needs a retrim i think its just the part where your arse goes tho. ill have a look tomorrow. if your interested then when i get new seats ill let you have my old ones for a cheap price just to get them out of my shed. just out of interest has anyone any idea on how much it is to get sport cloth seats re-trimed in leather or cloth,
