can anyone tell me what the style for the code 310 ? is they are sports seats out of a 1990 318is in lazure blue, never seen them before. They are grey/black/red. Many thanks.

after further research using the vin number its coming up on realoem its code is 310? but I can not find any more information on the web, I had always thought the 318is came with the tartan pattern cloth or leather, would I be right in guessing this was special order?, would be interested in knowing more about this pattern design.

A photo say's a thousand words....

Just wondering if this could be a 'motorsport' interior that started life in a late M3?

Daimlerman - I wondered if was a m3 interior, the rear seats have head restraints but no centre bolster, the front seats have a fabric label on the side squibs saying m-technic, I will take a picture now and put it onto the zone facebook page because its easy to upload. :D
