318is and 325is differences?

[vr2jetta]

Is there a difference in the interiors between the 318is and the 325is? I have a 325i and was wondering if I run across a good deal that I can get the interior from I want to know what I am looking for. I come from VW's where the MK2 16v gti came with recaros but the 8v gti didnt. Kinda new to the game and want to know whats out there. BTW, if it matters, it would be full black interior I would be switching to, in a late coupe. Thanks

Some had perforated leatherette.

So if I was to upgrade to 's' interior it would be in my best interest to find a 325is?

I like the vinyl more myself.

Carpet is also different. 325's had a more plush fabric, 318's came with a more basic (and lighter) carpet.

My cloth sport 318is are the best combo of comfort/holding seat I have ever had in a car.... I would take them over the new e90 seats. They just seamed to fit me perfect and I'm 6'4

I have the original black vinyls with 200k on them and they look brand new. They tend to hold up way better than the leather or cloth seats so you may be able to find a set in decent shape.

The vinyl seats do look much better as time goes by. My only gripe with them is they are kinda slippery. Imo cloth seats are the best.
