My new seats

[bmwm3n528]

Oh, I thought there was a real fix for it, assuming they were replaceable with the same ones.

Where would be the best place to go for suede boots now?

There's a guy on e30zone.co.uk that's doing some alcantara like boots for pretty cheap. Rob may be doing Alcantara stuff now if you're interested also.

Ok, sounds good. I'm just collecting info in case I have a sudden urge to pour money into my e30 while it sits in a garage 150 miles away :(

or straight up diamonds with Luis Vutton fabric

Might aswell be as expensive as it is.

I don't know whats wrong with your seat frames, but its worth taking a look. My drivers side was borked, I JB welded an L bracket in there and its good as new. Your fix may be easier.

Dude what the hell is wrong with your suede it's like brown?!?







;)

I love being a photo student, I get to borrow an digital rebel (the 300d but I really dont care, should be getting a 350 of my own soon) to shoot at the barret jackson auction and I'm gonna get atleast one shoot of my car done, woooo!

Do you ever have anything intelligent to say or do you just like to rack up your post count and flaunt your gay lips?

He lives in Florida why would it matter.

post count = ePenis , the bigger the better
as for the heated I was wondering about sport seats in general if they ever came heated, I've got the fat ol' non sport ones and would like a nice set of sports but wanted them heated too and I dont know a lick about what BMW made for stock sport seats... can anyone give me a non-ass reply to that?

[Jarvis]

Hatchman - yes, heated non-sport and heated sport seats were an option.

[Hatchman]

are heated sports common?

[Jarvis]

No. The only heated sports I've personally used are Dan Gillan's. And he had to retrofit most of the wiring for them because his car didn't come with them originally. I would consider heated sport seats fairly rare. They're more common in the ix's than the regular RWD E30s though.

are heated sports common?

I have them in mine, but I don't know how common they are

i'm a little late but your car deserves better... they don't look bad but i think something else would be better for how clean your car is....

[kyla325is]

I don't like the vinyl bolsters (or headrest). They would have looked better if they were leather.

[motorprestige]

What matches? The seats are black, and like I said the new shift and ebrake boots are in the mail.

Just because you drive a stock iX with an ugly front lip that every one hates on doesn't mean you need to be bitter and shit talk minor details.

ROFL!!!

But seriously, I think they will look tons better with the backs on, and TJ, why don't you just re-dye the suedes?

[permit]

Like most people (myself included--with two cars), your interior is holding you back. The shift knob, the seats, the not-black floor mats, and the suede (which is being replaced) all deserve better. Stock seats are nice...for stock cars.

I'll say this once and once only:

Recaro SRDs are pimp, but Recaro SRDs covered in anything but their stock cloth material immediately makes you eligible for presidency. Of the world.

[mikeedler]

dont listen to them all!!!! ahhhhh they are all hating! (j/K). I have black leather sport seats in my M3, and wouldnt trade em for anything besides EVO3 recaros. origional sports are awesome.
here is going to be one of the first WORTHFUL posts here.....
take the side covers off, and lube the crap out of all the gears, and tighten everything up. lube it all really good. my seats in my red car started to do the same a few weeks ago. on the L side of the pass. seat, the springs and crap were all dry, after lubing them and working it all over and over, they work great now. the catch pin was not locking in all the way, and allowing the gears to"strip" a little, causing the lean. you would be surprised how much better the seats will work with a bit of maint. lube and tighten.


I like the look, now come over here and take some nice pics of my car!
