hey,
A leather interior is what ive always wanted and ive managed to talk the mrs round. how much roughly? does anyone have any ideas or could i cut down the cost gettin my seat re-covered? any help would be minted, cheers |  |  | | 03-31-2008, 09:03 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 189 |
I would look on ebay. The leather seats that came in the active package are going for around 200. If you have the money the m3 sport seats are sweet but they are going to be a lot more. I wouldn't buy those covers they wont be the same. Most of your money is going to shipping though. Find something local and you will save loads. http://cgi.ebay.com/1995-BMW-Seats-E...QQcmdZViewItem | | | | | 03-31-2008, 09:11 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 189 |
Where is Clydebank? are you in Europe? If so do a search for E36 SEATS on ebay. There are a few listing on your side of the atlantic. | | | | | 03-31-2008, 10:29 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
it'd be cheaper to replace the interior with an OEM set than have your seats recovered, +1 on checking eBay | | | | | 04-01-2008, 12:51 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
+/- $1000 i was quoted for complete recover. __________________

hey guys,
The first place ive tried was ebay, not really much going about, would any e36 seats do? i'd imagine the front might but not the back. im based in clydebank which is part of glasgow in scotland lol, cheers for your help.., | | | | | 04-01-2008, 03:30 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
Consider ordering new foam from the dealer if you recover. It is AMAZING the difference. Yes any e36 front seat will work but powered seats require wiring obviously. Rear seat is specific to the Ti. I'd search for a wreck or insurance sale and get an OEM leather interior from a Ti. The products from Leatherique can work wonders (check old threads by L84thesky). __________________

Do coupe interiors not fit the compact ? - if your not wanting the door cards and rear cards - its only really the back bench and back support that could be different. Just wondering... as coupe interiors are much cheaper than compact interiors in the uk. Looking for one myself but just wondering if coupe's would fit | | | | | 04-13-2008, 03:29 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
the front seats and some little trim pieces might fit, but other than that, the coupe interior won't fit | | | | |
