All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I would have thought it was something to do with an LSD, or similar, not seat coverings!
Who comes up with these silly names I wonder?

My daft theory is because it has half leather seats and the alcantara centre sections provide more traction to your backside.
Oh, and the orange line is to make sure you're straight in the seat. Same principle as the bit people put on steering wheels.

Thanks for your good wishes, Sytners have recently taken over from what used to be Rybrook Wolverhampton.
Personally the service they gave me was excellent. They did everything that I asked, like refurbished wheels,new tyres,mats, refreshed drivers seat bolster and repair front end stone chips. The paint work is spotless.Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s a superb car and did 47mpg during my 230 mile trip home.

I paid probably top price for the car £19k. Full BMW history, 40K miles and a years warranty, which I can extend after the first year. They also spent a good amount preparing the car for me. I don’t like messing about with private sales and I also sold my old E86 to a dealer quickly for a good price.matsmith749 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:41 am I think that interior is the 'traction pack' - looks great IMHO.
How much?
Anyone wondering how the warranty works - assuming this is a BMW approved used car - any immediate glitches that should have been spotted by the inspection (lol - do they even do one?) will be handled by the selling dealership.
Anything else in the first 12 months can be handled by any BMW dealer - but they will look to blame the selling dealership if at all possible & recoup the costs from them. This happened to me, and wasn't terrible, but added a couple of days to my warranty repair for a rattly door.
After 12 months, if you get the BMW insured warranty, that is handled by any dealership.
BMW in the UK is actually dozens of seperate businesses, and they do not play nice with each other!

BMW approved used warranty had a few months left on mine when I bought it. Used it at a Coopers BMW hundreds of miles away for a sump gasket replacement and no problems at all, they also did the end of warranty check up.
"Design Pure Traction" if we're being really pedantic!
