    Well I just went to inspect the interior.
    It definitely needs a re-trim, but the seats are rare as tits on a bull, and the price... oh the price!
    So I just bought it.
    Going to pull it tomorrow night, guy said I could help myself to anything in the interior except the steering wheel and dash.
    So obviously I'm going to take everything.
    Don't know whether I'll keep it or re-sell it.

    Other than re-trim there are a couple of problems though,

    -The backrests do not spring back like they are supposed to, same as every e30 I've been in,
    -They are from a German e30 once upon a time, so LHD, so the release handles to flip the seats forward are on the wrong side, not a massive problem
    -Also the handle is missing on one backrest release, but thats not a big deal either.

    Here a few photos I have, You can see the condition they are in.














    They are original e30 RECARO seats, black/Grey, vinyl/cloth.
    I do not know as much as I'd like to about them, but I'm researching hard, and I'll post more info as I learn it.

    I always like to see e30 bits and pieces you don't come across every day,
    so thought I'd share with you all.


    Out of curiosity what do you estimate an interior like this to be worth (In this condition? and re-trimmed?)

    -Seats Front/back
    -Carpet
    -Door cards
    -Parcel shelf

        in germany here about 100 at the very most. redone about 350-400. but here is the land of cheap bmw parts. those seats were in quite a few early chrome bumper cars here- but are rare nowadays here too.

              I have never in my life seen an e30 without power mirrors. and I've seen alot of e30s...

              For the record I've also never seen a 316.

              Awesome.
              I paid less than 1/2 that, for anything and everything in the interior.
