2018 National meet,Friday 29thJUNE/SATURDAY 30th June, SUNDAY 1st JULY, UPDATE,JUNE
2 down, 2 to go...
3 hours for the first seat (including going to ScrewFix for 8 missing M8x25mm bolts, and drilling extra holes in the sliders that didn't line up with the floor mounts) and 55 minutes for the second.
No warning lights or anything, as I've got a proper BMW occupancy sensor mat under the passenger seat cushions, and the pre-tensioners are all in place should the worst happen.
Still think I need to get them dyed to champagne to match - but that can wait for a week or two.
Really should have picked a cooler day to do them though, as I really could have done without lugging those OE seats into a boiling hot loft this afternoon.

The reason I went for these over cheaper/other brands, was that I've happily survived a 1000 mile round trip to the Ring in an e46 M3 with the same seats fitted, plus one or two dozen laps of the Ring.
In fact I've lost a bot of weight since then, so they're probably an even better fit than they were.
However, as most people mention, that are a VERY snug fit for the width of the footwell (plenty of headroom though).

It sure is looking that way,Dave, where we are heading to on Saturday,it is to be warm and sunny,going by the forecasts, likewise with the York's moors on Sunday
Let's hope dry and sunny at least
Still got routes to print out,and go through,lol.
Been busy with family and other stuff,not to mention looking after my 2.5yr old Beagle after an op she had.
Going to be a busy week
Looking forward to the meet

Agree that they do need the centre parts done in Champagne,to match the rest of the interior,and they will be spot-on
Cars coming on well mate
