I will admit right off the bat, I am a newby, and I dont know a thing about BMW's.
I do know that I love the look of a certain BMW front seat. I have used the "search" function, but have not been able to confidently ID these seats.
I am looking for them because they are the exact material texture as my original seats in my '72 Datsun 510 wagon.
Any help I can get will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks

Those are stock e30 BMW sport seats.

That car in particular is most likely a 91 318iS.

I have to agree with my man Stuck, that is the sport seat from an E30, look on eBay, they pop up every now and then, also ask around in the E30 section. I loved those seats, however in the E30 Convertible you got the E30 M3 seats! Much more support, I miss my E30 vert.

Much like these only mine were tan:

someone correct me if i am wrong....

But the only difference between the two sets of seats is the material used to cover them.......

Sport seats = m3 seats........

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on E-bay and craigslist.
Over the weekend I talked to a kid that has an '84 325E. It had these exact seats. Were they original? The kid thought they were, but was not 100% sure.
So, was there multiple years and model BMW's that had them?
