reupholstering

Since "euro" is desireable in the US then go for a clean cloth look, use original cloth and get it done right :) over here leather means you either drive a taxi or you´ve passed 55 ;)

I'd say $600 is fair. Does that include the price of the cloth?

Personally, I'd take cloth over leather/vinyl any day. Isn't hot/cold, MUCH easier to maintain and holds you better (not slippery).

Thanks for the input. Yeah it's 600 done.

for what it is worth, i just got quoted $700 to re-do a set of Recaro's in vinyl or cloth.

$600 duckets for comfort seats is pretty fair.

i have a 318is that came with some cloth (houndstooth) sport seats. bad thing is they are beat to hell, and the cloth is ruined because of the past owners.

Anyway my question is. It is worth reupholstering the seats in cloth for $600?

the door cars are still good. so i wouldnt have to do them.

Im going for the whole oem look. so im not looking for any racing seats, or any thing other than an oem bmw seat.

What options do i have? and is $600 fair?

will the seats be worth a pretty penny with new cloth, or no not really because they are cloth?

That is fair, I would say reupholster them for your own personal satisfaction and not worry about what they will be worth to someone in the end. Reupholstered seats (if done well) will always be worth more than non but what you get out of them is really up to what someone is willing to pay.
