[luxconvertible]

i have a grey cloth trim, with wot looks like a darker, only slightly greyer with diagonal lines in my sport coupe, can i get new or will they have to be s/h? the bolsters are in very good condition its just the bottom centres that have gone if not can i get this trim matched?

Sounds like Anthracite grey

Easiest thing is ring a main dealer with your chassis number and they could tell you the original spec trim code.

ok i'l try that 1, is it a rare trim? as all i hear about is houndstooth this an that that seems like a popular trim!?

A lot of trim parts are no longer available, you can ask the parts for a number, even try a post on the Cotswold BMW section on here they may be able to help.


Not sure if this will help but I have some seats from E-bay in mine Silver Grey spec code 0270



The originals are Anthracite grey spec code 0269
Just visible in this pic of my knackered headlining

You will be suprised at just what is still available from the warehouse in Germany.

As pointed out,try to get the original trim spec via your VIN,enter it on this site... http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ ....for the part number and see what the stealer can come up with.

I was able to buy Neon Green cloth seat backrest covers,but not cushion covers,about 18 months back,for example.

Is this what you need ?



Suitable for 1988-1989(?) Model year comfort seats, 6 cylinder trim ( the 4 cylinder cars have a pattern that runs the other way ) - Grey cloth with black vinyl base.

Never been fitted and includes the original dealer invoice.

Its mine, on ebay at present with a £40 start price - PM me if its what you need.

Well,at least they are available,expensive yes,but available.


Wonder how many other manufacturer's seat covers are available for a twenty year old car?
