Have been looking for a good condition z4 coupe for years now, and thought I finally found one a few hundred miles away. Everything looks good, but something strikes me as off with the seats (as pictured). I know bmw does dome custom combinations, but the number of panels didn't seem to mesh with the standard or sport seat variations I've seen in the past. Dealer is claiming that they are original, but thought I'd see if anyone with a keen eye would care to differ before I make the several hour drive .

Any help would be great appreciated.
 
The panelling looks standard, I think it's the colour combo that makes them look odd.
Can't see the headrests, are they the sports seats or the standard ones?

They look like non sports seats, but I've never seen that combo before.
The panels look correct, just different having the colour like that
 
the bi colour seats i have seen are normally majority black with the coloured bits on the boulsters, opposite way to how these are coloured
 
So the car is an SE spec with the not-so-great seats. Is that what you are after rather than a sport model?
 
Like Taz said bi colour combo is usually the other way round. Plus the panelling on the centre of the seats does not look standard. The size of the panels shouldn't be even.

Could be a retrim. Maybe seat covers? :o
 
The seats look like standard non sports jobs (assuming they have separate and not integrated headrests) just an unusual retro colour combo a bit like Z3s used to have.

However are you sure you are happy with that odd looking shifter and unusual extra pedal? :D

That was my initial thought.

Wrong model, but they look awfully close. Dealer said they were not covers.
 
Be good if you can get a picture of the whole seat including headrest. Get the chassis number and enter it into one of the numerous websites which can show you the original spec.
