Where could I source either a new(?) or good quality pieces of kit to give my touring the 'Sport' look? Also need two Sport front seats as well!

Any suggestions?

Cheers, ProfDMW :notworthy:

Look for a 4-door genuine M-Tech 2 kit - it will fit the touring, except the boot-spoiler.

Don't bother with relicas - rubbish quality.

Mind you, the kit could be anything between Ԛ£300 to Ԛ£500 8O

And as for seats, well, if you are looking for the recaro-style Sport seats, you probably might find it easier to get them from a 2-door, like a Sport. Haven't seen many in 4-door cars.

Keep an eye here on the Zone, or you can try specialist BMW breakers like http://www.fabdirect.com/

I have M3 black leather in the front of mine, they fit fine.

You can disable the tipping lever, and remove it and cover the hole with a grommet of some sort.
