Where to purchase seat covering/upholstry

[Jcrosara]

I cant seem to find the answer so please dont rip me apart but where the hell do i find seat covers? I want to replace my ripped up seats with OEM 1991 318iS cloth and have an upholstery person do it as i wouldnt trust myself with it.
thanks in advance guys sorry if this has been covered a million times

Google.com ---> e30 seat covers ---> results.

Will you find cloth, especially matching? Maybe, the vast majority of cover sets are vinyl or leather. Of course, if you are already planning to use an upholsterer they can just order covers for you.

If you find original cloth seat fabric reproductions, let us know.

You can easily find ÜBERKARO fabric.

I believe its the second down on the cloth one for the 318iS. Either way, looks like i’ll have to get lucky with used good condition seats.

this is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you. However you and twright have now got me thinking, maybe ill just go full custom seeing as it is equally a hassle to go as oem as possible….

Upside is that at least now you have options ;)

"Cecil and his sons assured us he could make the seats all perfect again for a $1500 price tag."

They paid $1,500, but didn't change the 30-year-old foam.
When foam is new, covers don't wear much.

"Seat cushions are available if needed, but ours were still good, only needing a bit of cleaning."

I would definitely start with Relicate.

When I was sourcing natural vinyl for my cabrio door cards last year, I learned something that may be helpful for this and other projects: Veteran Company (in CA) supplies that vinyl to GAHH. Not sure what else they supply to GAHH, but they also sell retail and were very helpful. They carry BMW cloth.
