Any kind of sport seat and you'll never look back! The irony of the wording 'comfort seats'!

ye man, always on my mind - the gross bulge of the arse bit and the wooden door style upright bit. They don't go well together, I don't mind the back as much as the seat.

Exactly the same seat but just different cloth patterns. If you want comfort then go for the Recaro Ls seats, if you can find some, they make sports seats seem like a bed of nails!

Lovely seats these, although the quality is pants. I've never seen a 'pair' of seats which aren't knackered and coughing dust every time you sit on them! :(

Is check cloth i love, prefer the cloth to leather aswell altho never driven in leather e30, the cloth seems more old school to me, diff cloth suits diff cars i think, i often wonder what the is check would look like in my silver tech 1, but in pre facelift the houndstooth is sublime i love it

Another vote for cloth here! I have some Recaros that have been festering in my attic for ages, I'm hoping to get them retrimmed using anthracite cloth from a saloon rear bench winkeye

IS cloth for me, or anthracite as per capri Rob's pic
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Has to be cloth for me ! I find them softer to sit in and of course with leather it roasts ya knackers in the heat a freezes them off in the winter , 318 Is ftw!
