I'm looking to see what the usual 2 door interiors are to see which one to get or just change my drivers seat and keep the one I've got.

Interested to see what types there are if anyone has any photos of there car to put up.

There's a guy on the facebook page selling a heated sports leather interior for £350 in Birmingham. I've asked him about it but haven't got the money yet. Might be worth you speaking to him

Yup, just been retrimmed. They're Barry's old ones.

they are sexual :cool:

tbh i prefer cloth over leather, certainly a nice cloth over a battered leather, but all depends on the car,spec,color, as to what interior suits it best

They do look a bit different to my old cloth ones as well :? Definately proper BMW ones though.

I prefer cloth as well but finding mint cloth these days is near on impossible. I had a full set of Recaro houndstooth trim to redo my old seats in and while it wasn't worn out it was still heavily faded and looked its age :(

Not doubting they're BMW Recaros but they look more E24/28.

Pretty sure you can't fit those into an E30 though. These seats are on E30 Recaro runners and all the visible parts are the same as my old seats. They're 2 door seats as well so can't be from an E28 and E24 seats have different hinges to E30 seats. Plus I very much doubt Barry would've bought non E30 seats and paid a fortune to have them trimmed.

They are definately E30 seats, do you think Barry would have had bastardised E24/E28 seats in his car ? :)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I'd prefer the real deal tbh :o:

The handbrake gaiter and the one piece gear knob is OEM, so it's fitting if that was OEM too.

No. The bolsters on the back rest are a different shape.
