    Help me... which interior would you choose?

    I found a guy who is importing a couple of really nice complete interiors for the E34 from Europe. Checked him out on the various boards and he gets the thumbs up from everyone for satisfaction. Here are the two that I am looking at:

    1. Anthracite M-Technic Cloth Alcantara /Amaretta - $2500 + shipping

    Includes front manual seats (light weight), rear seats, all door panels.




    2. Alpina Cloth with Electric Recaro Front Seats - $2700 + shipping

    Includes front electric seats, rear seats, all door panels.




    I like them both so much... I don't know which to get.

    Alcantara can get nappy and will be harder to keep looking nice over time.

    I dig the Alpina seats. I'd go for those.

      Alpina looks badass and the pattern on the M-tecnic one looks cheesy. Alpina for sure.

        pink vagina interior....


        both are fucking hot, but Alpinas seem to have better front seats to hold you in well. Recaro = win

            Looked at them again - looks like the Driver Side bolster on the Alcantara ones is getting some kind of wear pattern in it. Looks like what is happening on the same kind of material on the seats in my Lexus.

              I'm afraid that Alcantara can get all frayed and weirded out from me getting in and out. I make a lot of stops in my day and get in/out of my car probably atleast 12-14 times. From what I hear the Recaro seats and Alpina cloth hold up very well to wear and tear.

                  I agree.

                  I love M-cloth interiors like in the M3 Evo normally, but the ones pictured above look more like movie theater carpet for some reason.

                          Lovin it.

                          After you get that beast done with the turbo goodies, you MUST come to Mid Ohio with it. And give me a ride in it.

                            Exactly what I was going to say. I would take the Recaros over just about anything.

                            Not only that, the cloth on those ///M seats is cool, but it's a little too "90's-something you'd see framed in a high powered executive's office" print. The Alpinas look much more sporty.
