Think anyone would be interested in an e30 "group buy" front/back (sport seats) upholstery deal?
Stock style, Naugahyde/recycled leather nearly any color.

Would need maybe 4.

Me! I have the M cloth for the centers. Can your pops do door panels too?

If I recall the reason why is because of the slight difference in geometry the e36 arms have. It gives you a bit more camber or caster I forget exactly why do you need control arms?

Lets talk. Have you seen the ones we did for Polak?

They're the same. Only difference is stock e30 is perforated with 2 holes and e36 is just solid rubber.

What would the cost be about?

I was gonna hit you up during summer. How much did you think you'd charge?

Depending how many get on board, your cost wouldn't go over $650.
Includes headrests and reinforced foam where needed.
If your foam is totally missing/trashed we have to figure that in.

Visors can be done with left over material for $12/each if you're feeling snazzy.

Matt yours will be more affordable since you have the fabric for me.

Bimmerfest? Price?

E36 m3 is more solid and is not he same as e30. E36 m3 has more caster since it is offset. Its good for high speed and better control on steering because it pushes the control arms forward creating caster on the wheel. But not as good for low speed or quicker cornering.
It had a good solid feel but not as aggressive as treehouse or eyeballs or whatever.

Good Morning,

I also have Mtech material and would like leather for the bolsters. Nagahyde is fine for the door cards with the Mtech material in the centers. I have a local shop that I usually use but if the price is right I could bring it all up to LA in the back of my truck.

Cheers,

Jim

Only the 95 M3 uses offset bushings. 96+ use centered just like an E30.

Abby, HMU on pricing.
