Just clocked these on ebay but they do seem to be a bit pricey but i'm no expert.
Sorry if anyone watching these.

I wasn't watching them but I am now as they're exactly what I've been after for a long time!

Some went before Christmas for around 600 which seemed cheap as prior to that it was around the 800 mark I think.
 
well at £300 a seat I'd rather have mine re-upholstered than a set that look like they've been left out in the rain LOL :o
 
They also come with centre console controls... So I presume they are heated?

But only 1 door card.

Still not a bad Price.. If I didn't have sport seats I'd be tempted by these at that price.
 
Just glad they are red and not black or Z4-itis could be striking again.

One of the few people on this forum it seems who can't stand Red Leather seats and would walk away from any car with them if I was looking to change. :)
 
i am not keen on red either

my car was adverised on the net, when i saw the pics i nearly didn't go and look at it because the seats were black and red, I just went to have a chat with the bmw dealers, but when i saw the car i was got, i just had to have it

i don't think i would want full red though
 
I fancy these as they are heated,not massive fan of red but won't put me off,someone fancy buying my black sport seats non- heated? Having said that as one door card missing,this shouldn't go for too much.

Problem with sharing on forum is that makes lots of interest on one item that won't usually be there; let's see what happens!

how serious are you then navid? there could be a deal brewing here as i am not bothered about them being heated....
 
Hey navid

what sort of price would you be looking for if you decide to sell them? i have the standard seats but are electric and heated , iam sure i can canabilise them and fit the heated part to none heated seats I think pawnsacrifice did it to hes seats and hes local to me and a mate and iam sure he would help.

Pm me if you are interesed in selling them. :thumbsup:
 
Depends how crazy ebay auction goes! Also,I will need to change the passenger occupancy sensor, which have to read pawn's guide,pm me we can discuss it more :)
 
Any normal person selling these would clean them - polish / nourish the leather & get them mint
so that you can get top dollar for them.

exactly.. and bonus for us as we get them at a better price... and with a bit of time and tlc they normally scrub up well.

Also i'd imagine some people will buy these kinds of things for other cars... like stripped out metro's and the like and use them as racing seats.... in which case they dont care if they are show room condition.
 
How can someone be expected to sell something at top whack without giving them a running over with a damp cloth, at the very least. Breakers really do not have a clue do they!?

Believe me, a starting price of £550 is NOT "top whack" for red, electric heated sports seats! These would easily go for £800+ if they were cleaned up IMO.

I do agree it's pretty poor that they've not even given them the slightest clean up though - I wouldn't expect a breaker to have them immaculate but those look really dirty in the pics.
 
You want them to look tired and dirty. You know they havn't messed with them.

Cleaned up and tidy they will fetch £1,000 - red, sports, heated are the hens teeth
 
I bought mine and they were rough as s**t when I saw the pics, but £350 for door cards and seats delivered was good, and a day taking them in pieces/cleaning/rebuilding, and then a few weeks drying out, and they have been 100% solid since.

Best purchase I ever made. Not perfect, but they were cheap, and they are seats, they are wear items. For me it was about the way they made you connect with the car better all the time, and make the steering better as you can use a lighter touch at high lateral g's, rather than holding on to the steering wheel hard to stop you sliding up the tunnel or into the door :D

Get them for the way they make the car feel rather than the way they look imo!

Should have been standard in pre-facelift cars all along. No idea why they ever fitted those oem things.
