They look awesome, get some runners made and get them in!
Vintage BMWs are an addiction.

They are really rare, from what I've found on other forums they where optional extra in 1989 -1994 Porsches amd a few other exotics but at a rumoured $1000 a seat the take up wasant great they also released 400 pairs to the market .
There are two generations the gen 1 has a deep bottom bolster and a plastic diaphragm that was prone to cracking .
The gen 2 has a bottom bolster like type r/e30 m3/recaro srd and an Improved rubber diaphragm .

I have a mixed set a gen one and a gen two but I kinda like it like that as the gen one is a little more bucket like for the driver , I have been looking for another set but this is the one 1! Availble atm
