I have a chance to buy this cars seats, the front vaders and the rear seat. The rear seat is useless for my ti, but the suede/cloth vaders are sweet! He is asking 500 euros for the front seats plus the back one. Do you think it's a good deal? Should I buy them? Here's an actual pic: Regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti MODS: Staggered M Kontours; Mtec Side Trim with M3 badges; Mtec Steering wheel with Airbag; M3 Modified Shift Lever; M3 Leather Shift Knob, Leather Centre Arm Rest; Euro Clear turn signals; M3 Electric and Heated Side Mirrors; Cat replaced by straight pipe; Mtec Rear Bumper; E36 M3 Front Brakes with EBC Drilled and Slotted Rotors and EBC Red Stuff Pads; Vader Seats.

I will probably use them for a counch on my garage. My ti is he standard one, it doesn't have sport seats, so these vaders will be a great improvement. What do you think price wise? Are they worth the asking price? regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti MODS: Staggered M Kontours; Mtec Side Trim with M3 badges; Mtec Steering wheel with Airbag; M3 Modified Shift Lever; M3 Leather Shift Knob, Leather Centre Arm Rest; Euro Clear turn signals; M3 Electric and Heated Side Mirrors; Cat replaced by straight pipe; Mtec Rear Bumper; E36 M3 Front Brakes with EBC Drilled and Slotted Rotors and EBC Red Stuff Pads; Vader Seats.

You gotta ask yourself, what are they worth to you? They will improve your seating comfort. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 06-08-2006, 02:19 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Great White North!

Since I bought my ti, I always wished to buy a set of vaders. If my car had sport seats, I would probably spend those $600 elsewhere. But when I drive on trackdays, I really miss some seat holding... I guess i'll buy them. Is there any other parts I should buy from this M3 to fit to my ti? I'll problaby buy the sideskirts too.

Is the car a front end wreck? If not get the headlights and bumper. Of course that is if the price is right! The headlights are much better than the reflector headlights that come on the ti. They should be ellipsoid Bosch, Hella or ZKW, again like the ones on my car. Much better visibility as the projectors emmit a much more focused beam without having a scattered effect like the reflectors.

The rest of the car is in pretty good shape. I guess i'll buy the seats, the side skirts and the tacho. I don't know if I should go for any other parts... regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti MODS: Staggered M Kontours; Mtec Side Trim with M3 badges; Mtec Steering wheel with Airbag; M3 Modified Shift Lever; M3 Leather Shift Knob, Leather Centre Arm Rest; Euro Clear turn signals; M3 Electric and Heated Side Mirrors; Cat replaced by straight pipe; Mtec Rear Bumper; E36 M3 Front Brakes with EBC Drilled and Slotted Rotors and EBC Red Stuff Pads; Vader Seats.
