Should I go Plaid?

[Black325e]

So I have a question. As of now I have a full houndstooth interior (sport seats, woah), but my seat is broken. There are a couple marks here and there that were patched up in a, lets say "interesting" way. I like the houndstooth but I want something much more rare than that. I want to go full plaid! I am talking to a guy that can get me the set. Basically the details are that the seats are heated (cloth seats, I feel like that is rare) and they are sport seats as well. They have been redone mechanically but the cloth is 100 percent original, and it's mint. I feel like it would be the rarest touch that would put my E30 apart from the rest, and it would get it ready for it's Euro/M-Tech 1 conversion. Should I get the seats? Comment below! I'm interested in what people have to say.

are those the actual seats in the photo?
if so, I would jump on 'em, especially if you can get the full mint set below $1k.
but for some reason, I have seen this particular plaid morph and age like poo.

btw, your houndstooth sports are rare.
arguably just as much, if not more so than the plaid.

Tell me when you want to sell the houndstooth set!

Man, there's a full houndstooth set in my area for 1000$ and it's mint...I drool everytime i see it, then cry when i realize i can't justify the expense....
Houndstooth sport is amazing. Keep it.

If you have to ask to go plaid, go you plaid.

If you swap out your interior sell me your good houndstooth bolsters.

I would buy a GTI if I wanted my interior to look like a set of Old Navy shorts.

Plaid is for VW's and bro's. Hounds is classy.

Seats look great ... but if you doing it to be 1 step ahead of the Jones's isn't that kind of ... childish ... go for it ... sell me the HT set!!

Haha I like the sort of mixed opinions here. Personally I don't know - I feel that plaid is very retro and cool in general. Plus, I am not giving up the houndstooth, as it will be going into my girlfriends E30 :) sorry for everyone that wanted it - I am keeping it in the family. I think I will hop on the plaid because I love the old school look of it.

Plaid seems very VDUB yo!


Houndstooth seems very British engineer sport coat.

The plaid pattern is called uberkaro and it not very common, I'd pick it over HT.

Seeing that I am having twins in 3 weeks, I'll take the vinyl comforts with broken seat back adjusters and $1000 worth of Pampers.

Your new seats will make long distance road trips so much easier!
