how hard is it to find the cloth sport seats?

[wazzu70]

Im currently looking at a 318is that has a torn drivers seat. The interior is obviously the sport interior but its a cloth interior which I havent seen very often. Before I buy the car I would like to know how hard it is to come by a decent set of the cloth seats? Also how hard it is to come by a decent set of the vinyl seats? Im not opposed to swapping. I dont know much about E30s as I generally deal with the 2002s so I dont know the best places to look. TIA

I think the majority of cloth interior E30's were 318is's. Not sure why but that's what I have gathered.

Finding another set of cloth sport seats will be hard, finding some good condition ones will be VERY hard. As far as finding some nice condition sport seats, there's usually a set or 2 on ebay, just keep your eye out. Expect to spend at least $300 on those, for just the fronts.

Clothe is cheap, just have them recovered like new.

thanks for the help guys. Yeah I agree cloth is better than vinyl for sure.

Earlier etas (84-85) also came with cloth sport seats.

I have multiple sets of cloth sports seats --- a total of five sets, in fact --- all in great shape, including the driver's seats. Only one seat of tan cloth, the rest are grey/black.
