    Guess I stand corrected, shows what I know. What kind of seats are they then?

    True Recaros were offered on euro-spec e30s but are very rare. Those look like the euro e30 Recaros to me. Very nice find, love calypso e30s. Lots of potential there but does look like there will be some work to do.

    e30 Recaros, second pic:

    So you thought your E30 sport seats were Recaro's? Think again the E21 sport seats were Recaro's, not your E30's. However real Recaro sport seats were offered as a rare option on E30's. As seen here clearly stated by BMW themselves: Furthermore Alpina offered Recaro seats in their E30's also but again Alpina's are rare

    Zender front and rear valance with Kamei sides skirts. BBS valance is a little different and none of them are factory.

    Front is Zender


    Side is Kamei

    Make sure it has all 4 hartges, and they aren't knockoffs.

    No such thing as a factory guage pod down there. Looks like the BMP or EUWorks one. Could even be a hartge.

    The seats kinda look like E21 recaro seats. But I'm not really 100% on those.

    I can pretty much promise you it is not any kind of a Eurospec car.

    i agree with the rest-nice find. that car certainly didn't roll out of the factory with that body kit on it though. my first impression is that it's zender. my second would be kamei. i think with all the aftermarket/euro parts, the car is a good deal. does he have all 4 "hartge" wheels? even if there are 4 of them, i don't think they are worth 1500. they look like they might be replicas but maybe they are the real thing. if those are e30 seats, they have certainly been recovered in velour. the profile of the side bolsters look wrong for them to be e30, though if you like them that is all that matters.

    with all the stuff a previous owner has added to this car, you may find it is a u.s. car with lots of euro parts added. even so, still a good deal. hope it isn't too rusty. if it is, you can always buy an early style car in the south and put all these parts on it.

    Really, had a set here for awhile now and couldn't get them sold for that price shipped to US in better condition than those.

    Nice find though OP
