Well same as above, the highback ones, in really good condition along with the m3 rear leather seats.

What are these worth?

high back meaning recaros????

Yes Alex, these ones below, and the also the rear m3 seats not convertible ones....

£650 in my book.

what for the whole interior, inlcuding the back seats, chris

any other opinions

I reckon if in mint condition, defo worth over 650 quid.....

Very rare.

ive seen standard m3 leather seats go for £600, think it was from one of the old timers on here, but quite some time back.

Twisted frames & retrimmed leather will devalue them imo.....

what you saying mine are twisted and retrimmed?

explain

im going round there sunday im gonna jump the Q

erm. How sure are you those came out of the factory in an E30 M3? They look nothing like my leather seats.

Even E30 M3s had different options. I believe these seats where optional.

Richw, you got any pics..

It might be a bad picture but they definately look like it to me, still very rare none the less and easy enough to sort the twisted mechs out.

Maybe not twisted but possibly just that they have been subject to rather large users as the seat back bolsters have been splayed out and flattened. Unfortunately not uncommon on these seats after probably almost 20 years' use. Still nice seats though.

Large users = twisted backs!

you guys keep saying they are twisted, have you got a set, and what are the chances of both frames getting twisted exactly the same, and as for the re-leathering, how did you come to that conclusion.

Yes, its an old pic though from the original ad when I bought the car.



Ive seen loads of M3's leather and fabric. And none of them look like your seats. Theres a few different fabric colour combos, my seats and then the "winged" Recaro SR types that came in SportEvos. The drivers seat has one large lever on the NS (side closest to door) The passenger seat has 2 release levers, one on each side. With the outer one larger than the inner one (make sense?)

Its the top section of the seats your selling that look wrong to me. If anything they look like (Genuine Recaro) Sierra Cossie seats with the BMW colour badge stuck on.

so which onesd are your, top pic or bottom pics

Rich W your seats are BMW sports seats not recaro items though!

that what i was going to say, just waiting for his reply...

Bottom ones are for a cossie aren't they?

Naa, they might be, but i think bottom ones are from the 6 series bmw, richw ones are basic leather seats that came in most m3's unless at the time of purchase the owenr upgraded, and they are the same as convertible ones as well.

Then theres my ones which came in evo3's and the ones up from my ones are the SRD's.

then again looking at the picture again, they do look totally different, might be cossie, but im not sure what cossie ones look like...

I agree that my seats are the standard M3 leather ones. (and arent badged Recaro)

The second pic I put above is a Cossie interior (hence the 3dr in the background)


My point is that I have NEVER seen the seats SHAKEELE30 is selling in ANY M3. And certainly not in any of the sales literature from the time specifying you could upgrade to these "unknown" seats. Maybe they were an option on non M3's but Im 95% sure not M3. Obvious thing would be are there 2 release levers on the Passenger seat. (OS)

Theres another seat that looks similar to mine but has vertical stictching on it (cant find a pic) that people "claim" is from an M3 but again, ive never seen them.

I've seen those seats in a few M3's, they're fairly rare.

I would however agree with Tomson that they look a bit bent.

The cloth always had vertical stiching. But never leather. Only sports seats leather had vertical stitching.

I've seen that type of Recaro in a few M3's.

theo if you dont have anything useful to say, then jsut dont bother posting on my threads.
