Hi there anyone have any idea how much it may cost to have the interior of my E30 (LEATHER) re upholstered? I live in Kent but am happy to travel for the right supplier
Regards,

Between £1500 - £3500 depending on what you want done.
I have just ordered a cabby leather interior from Germany, front door cards, rear panels, front and rear seats for +-£1500...the catch is I need to get it fitted...

Mine cost me £600... The backs of the seats were already black leather, so I had the fronts (fabric) done in Houndstooth grey Italian leather front and back seats, lovely and soft too! I'm on the Isle of Wight though, hope this helps...

I had mine done (albeit 10 years ago) by Chequers Auto Upholstery in Bearsted. It was £1200 for the seats, door cards, backs of seats and the side bits in the back of the convertible, and the steering wheel was re-trimmed as well.

Wherever you go make sure you see some examples of their work first, I am seeing too many baggy interiors these days. They really shouldn't have any wrinkles.

Bumping this thread. How does $2,000 (AUD) for front sports seats or $3,000 for front and rear sound? Looks like the right ballpark judging from the replies above?

Price list I got last year from B-trim in Enfield, who have historically been the place that know how to trim old BMW and Recaro, had front and rear seats as £1600+VAT for standard Nappa Leather
That is top-end for a job but each time they have done trim work for me I could not fault it (and I can usually pick faults with anything)
So looks like that is in the ball-park if their work is up to scratch.

Thanks. Now need to decide whether to get both front and rear done. The front seats aren't in a good way, but the rear seats look like they've never been used - seems a shame to spend $1,000 on something that doesn't need fixing. But I don't want to risk having a two-tone interior!

Other option if you're handy is to buy the seat covers and recover yourself.coopman wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 9:33 amThanks. Now need to decide whether to get both front and rear done.

Otherwise I can look up where my car was reupholstered in Sydney.

I considered it - watched a YouTube video - decided I'd probably make a mess of it.Tzantushka wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 1:38 pmOther option if you're handy is to buy the seat covers and recover yourself.coopman wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 9:33 amThanks.

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear where yours was done. Thanks.
