    Houndstooth is the pattern.

    Dude, get some faux (or real) Burberry cloth for your seats.

      if only i was black and could rap......

      but houndstooth is the one that is plad-like?, i thought houndstooth was the weird mixture of black and grey, kind of like messed up checkers, then there was a real square checkered pattern, then this plad-like one whcih im looking for, and im also pretty sure nobody makes the cloth, but im still asking just incase, or if someone knows where to get some or any info would be appreciated

        I'm with ken. Burberry is off the hook. I got mine reupholstered in a simliar checkered pattern at a local shop for 660 out the door. Check your local guys out, you never know.

          I believe houndstooth is the one you're looking for.

            unhcll's seats. The driver's seat is actually sitting in my workshop, as I just swapped it over to a new frame for Chris. Awesome seats and they look great.

              I don't think what he is trying to describe is houndstooth. The one he is talking about is more like the plad on flannel shirts, with a bigger pattern that overlaps eachother that came on Euro cars. I don't know where to find a pic of it though.

                I know what you are talking about. I wonder if someone can find a picture. I looked on e30.de, but have not found one yet.

                  Yes, my seats. They are a bit dirty in that picture. True color is more grey...
                  And Rob's got one of them... I cant give him enough praise for all of his help with my various interior projects!!!!


                  perhaps you're thinking of #0380 on this page?

                    Yes, I think that's it. I saw it on the seats in a UK model cabrio that was in Total BMW a year or so ago.

                      Oh, the golfer-pants pattern? Check e30zone.co.uk - a bunch of UK cars came with it.

                        I feel like I've posted pics of my interior 4375823047810587 times. The flash makes it look all sparkly but here:

                          not a very good pic. I got them re-upholstered as close as i could to the original pattern they had, the checkers are just a little bit bigger (or hmm might be the other way around). well anywayz that's a pic of my interior

                          btw before anyone says anything i got a shortshifter...when i took that pic i would need the passenger to put it in 5th gear :?
