e30 cab

[aze30]

no probs corkie was slow but got there in the end lol

thanks rodderz but its already got the standard cab bench in grey leather whereas its supposed to be a motorsport bench, somebody changed it for some reason along its life but the prroblem is that the motorsport seats have the stitching running the opposite way to the standard seat/bench?
mine is a motorsport so im gonna try to rectify this.
im not sure why those dials/digits are there on the heater control lol as said above myt be the attempt for climate?????

The heater control is basicly climbate.

The rotary temp knob is electric as oposed to a cable and flap.

There is a temp sensor on the control panel which measures interior temp and whatever you put the temp knob to, it will set the interior temp to.

Its quite a rare option, im about to fit it to my 325i Sport.

Thats a 2 door rear bench you have there,all cab rear benches(?) have the stitching going from side to side rather than front to back!

[aze30]

[aze30]

[ImysE30]

It's your car though, do what you want to do to it

[aze30]

lol sorry imy do apologise mate dnt knw where that 'He who feels the need to reply on every thread' bit came from might have been pasted on by accident from another thread.
hmmm as for the stripe im not sure yet lol
did cabs ever come with a stripe?

[ImysE30]

Stupid filter mate, type in imys instead

Not sure mate, maybe Alpina/Hartge cab's came with them fitted?

[aze30]

lol no worries long as you know i werent atkin the micky lol
maybe think ill leave it for now ...you put me off the stripe idea now haha
think it looks good enuff without stripe anyway

[ImysE30]

It could look good as your car is a dark colour, Rav335uk has stripes on his cabby, look for his cabby in the 'Photo Gallery'

[aze30]

I spotted this on Ebay, you still looking for a rear bench?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-MOTORSPOR ... 35a4817d98

[aze30]

yeah ive already mailed the chap ...he wants the best part of 200 pounds for it
okay its a motorsport seat but i only need the base part so its not really worth it for me lol
ive been told that the base/seat part of the rear bench is the same on cabbys as the msport bench so still gonna keep my eyes peeled lol

[bry]

No bother - only £2.70 with no reserve at present though!!!

[/// KAMI]

Looks cheap buy it pal

he's a zoner, £200 is impossible. Without matching fronts its only good for motorsport owners. £100 tops is what i'd pay

[aze30]

yeah true ill bid again lol

[aze30]

small issue with cabby when driving back i noticed the speedo needle wasnt working? any ideas to what it could be lads?

im starting to get to grips with sorting it out ready for the summer

[Gert_8]

No. That didn't work. Try again!!!
