318 is seats/ M3

[Neo]

Hi there, quick question are the grey check front seats from the 318is

the same as the grey check seats from the M3

i know the rears are different, but is the cloth on the seats the same.

cheers

yes they did a blue check, a light grey check

the m3 also had optional dark grey check

[Neo]

So out of the three check colours they did,

light grey
dark grey
blue

were all three fitted to 318is and M3 or was the M3 dark grey the only one for the M3 and the other two for the 318is anyone know.

As the M3 is a left hand drive car, the passenger and driver seats will be opposite to the 318iS. The only difference this makes is to the extra handle to allow the driver to tilt the passenger seat forward. The advantage of a set of M3 seats would be that you would be using the passenger seat as the drivers seat in a 318iS and passenges seats as a rule have much less wear.
