My interior for my E30 design cab is in extremely shabby condition, i was thinking about putting in some leather from a cab, although i'm now having 2nd thoughts after being advised against it.

How do i go about getting the interior sorted, obviously the centre of the seats (the blue and black strip) is rare, and that (along with the side bolsters which could be replaced) is what needs replacing...

Is it something i should look into, or shall i just accept the interior has had it's day 8O

You can get the cloth seats recovered, I got my cloth seats in my 316 recovered years ago, but not in BMW material.

Dont know if you can still get BMW material that matches these days

When i had my first sport it was the normal grey cloth recaro. I ordered some material for that through BMW. Its not the cheapest but obviously a perfect match. Give it a wurl, they might just do it.
