I took some pics of my car tonight but didn't find my copy of CS2 so I saved them in jpeg via Microsoft RAW Image Viewer and played with them. I'll post some artsyless pics later.

Great looking car!

OEM Recaro interior? Pics?

[TDE30]

Looks great man, I figured this car would turn out pretty hot after seeing some of your previous rides.

BTW, that "OEM Recaro interior" thing with 318is/325is cars is a fallacy unless the seats have been added later on.

[Jim Lepage]

The PO told me they are Recaro. Did he lies to me ?

PO pic. I'll take more pics before winter storage.

u has been lied.

They looked like normal "is" seats that have been clothed in a plaid-like material (very similar to the Interlagos cloth found on MkV GTI's.) They look great, but certainly not Recaros from the looks of it.

[Jim Lepage]

Ok. It's not a problem.

They're still cool and comfortable for non-Recaro seats.

BTW I never saw other seats like them on the web. They must be pretty rare ?

[WhatWentWong]

They are more rare than leatherette, real leather, and some might argue even rarer than houndstooth. But, this plaid is certainly OEM. I've seen it on a handful of NA spec E30s from 318iC to 325iS

My car is originally black leatherette, but I got both front plaid seats from a Japanese-spec 320i Cabrio:

Nice looking ride

[PReta]

those borbet type c's are easily one of the best looking wheels on a e30.
good shit.

[Jim Lepage]

Winter storage tomorrow morning. :(

[bignate948]

those seats are sweet!

[Nicademus]

Yup I love those seats. Those and the houndstooth are my favorite OEM seats (close third are the cardinal or similar seats). I thought that there were some OEM Recaro seats but they were a rare option.

Saved all your pic ;)

[Motorsports]
