I picked up some new seats for the E30 the other day off CL and installed them yesterday. They are very comfy. They are tan vinyl sport seats out of a '91 325i. I picked up the rear bench a month ago for super cheap. My original seats were trashed and not worth salvaging.

I sorted out the engine issue I was having, and now the only thing left to do is fix the sunroof and solve one more electrical gremlin. For some reason when I turn the wheel to the right, the wire from the turn signal shorts out when the turn signal cam on the steering wheel hits the turn signal switch. It only dos it when turning right. It's a real puzzler. I'll post up a full write up when she's complete.

Yeah, I couldn't believe how good they looked when they popped up on CL.

those are e30 m3 seats, and they're leather, the stitching went up and down on the vinyl seats not side to side..

Shit, I got a really good deal then! The kid I bought them from had them thrown in to a deal when he bought a '91 vert with a blown engine. His car had heated seats so he got rid of these ones. My car is a 325e, so it's pretty funny that it has such sporty seats now. The original buyer also had the factory LSD put in when he bought the car, so it's a pretty kitted up slow car. Did Recaro make these for BMW, or are they BMW seats?

If those are original leather they're easily $600 in that condition.

I ended up trading that car for a Corvair +$500. I was about $2,200 into it all said.
