    Sparco Roads or nice M3 seats?

    Okay, decision time. What would you choose if they were the same price: clean M3/cabby seats that are the same color as the rest of the interior or black Sparco Road (pair) seats that don't match the interior but are in great shape?

    my interior is black. i'd take the sparcos only if they were red becuz then they would look sweet. :D but if the sparcos were any other color than black or red, id have to go with the m3/cabby seats.

        M3 seats. I had a pair of Recaro SRD knockoffs in my car for about 6 months, and while I loved them at first, I just didn't like the way they looked after a while. I think it's few and far between that cars look good with aftermarket "race" style seats in them, and I eventually ended up trading them off to a guy for a pair of black leather sport seats. But that's just me. I would go with the sport seats.

          My interior is tan and the Sparco's are black, so they wouldn't look totally out of place. They would render the back seat useless...

          The price is $450 for either (but I would give the M3 guy my seats as cores). Ya think $450 is cheap for a pair of Sparco's?

            $450 sounds like a good deal for Sparco seats. As long as they are authentic and not beat to hell.

            What model are they? Recline?

                    I don't know which model they are, but on the headrest it says 'Sparco Road'. No recline.

                    PM me if anyone is interested in contacting the seller - he's in NJ, BTW.

                        Yes those are like the seats in the 89/90 non sport 325i cars. We got the same material.

                            i guess it all depends on what the car is going to be used for. street and the occasional spirited driving=m3 seats. any enstensive track time=sparcos...real sparcos. not knock offs. you will never thank yourself more than having a good seat at the track.
