Guys,was just wonderin what spec interiors you have in your sport's.Am talking about factory spec now,not retrims.Just thought it would be interesting to compare numbers.ill start the ball rolling.Mine has the black leather recaro's with m badge inserts,rear headrests,antracite headlining,grey velour carpet,grey cloth door card inserts.i have a suspicion that mine had the recaro's retrofitted because of the cloth on the doorcards.maybe some of you can confirm or correct me?

Sounds like your suspicion is correct, it should have the black vinyl door cards.

My red one was originally the cloth anthracite interior, was then fitted with normal E30 black leather (vertical stitching) and was then changed for an M3 heated leather interior.

Phone the dealers for a print out, that will tell you exactly what it left the factory with.

Mine has factory black leather and its mint and lovely :cool:

Yeah cloth door trims means retrofit - although it's much nicer than the nasty plastic you get with the factory leather....

As Simon says, a dealer can tell you - just need the chassis number mate.

GUYS

My first real post, having been content till now just browsing.

I've just had my drivers seat re done in antracite cloth, looks really good now but nearly Ԛ£200 for the OME seat covers, + Ԛ£100 for the trimmer guy sort of makes me wonder why i didn't try to get a 2nd hand leather !!

Now it's done,i am happy i stuck with the cloth !!
