    I try to only update this post with major things at this point

    We have more M Rain coming in but its important to note that this is from a different factory. It looks a little different, it is if anything closer to the OEM material but is visually distinct from the first M Rain run we did.

    For those who want any more of the first M Rain material to match with - we only have it left in cutoff sizes (~20" tall) but it is the same material as the first M Rain we made. We have very limited quantities in stock and once it is gone, it is gone. The full-size material is sold out.

    First reproduction on the top right with the new one on the bottom left



    Close-up of the new reproduction

    This new M Rain is being shipped to me now and group buy orders will be shipped out in the order they received

    Cutoffs and Off-color M Rain is 15% off right now with coupon code CUTOFF

    Hey bimmerbreaker, came across a few of your eBay auctions.
    Any luck on doing some vader seat skins in Mcross with rear bench as well? I'd be ditching my OEM rain interior if that becomes a possibility.

    - 98 m3, techno/anthrazit cloth, 124k and officially worthless - 89 m3, alpine/black 143k and officially old - 2000 323it, tiag/grey, 169k and officially boring

    Shoot me a message when you sort it out. Just to reiterate what someone said earlier, I’d suggest finding a late model Vader since they are better built than the earlier, and more common.

    I'll definitely post up here about it once those are ready. Just having trouble finding a seat to make a template from. I will make sure to look for later year vaders though, the cutoff for the change was in 96 iirc?

    No, mid-95 model year saw the redesign. BMW ran the 95 MY into the 96 production year. I believe all 1996 MY are 1996 production dates. Typical mid year production changes for "next" year branded model year car didn't apply during this time.

    I am aggressively hunting for vaders right now and just want to clarify that I am looking for the ones with the double stitch headrest, one stitch on either side, correct?

    Is there a better way to differentiate them?

    Also,



    Sample book finally arrived...

    Now I can order almost all OE BMW leathers

    Early

    Late

    You can see the head rests have extra stitching, more padding, and the side bolsters have the actual frame supporting them inside, where as early vader bolsters are just cushions, causing them to bow out easier.

    How much would the Vader seat covers run?

    Awesome, thanks. Still haven't sourced a set but now I know what I'm looking for (and now I know the ones in my car are from the earlier year so wouldn't be suitable to use)

    I don't even have the templates yet so I don't have a firm price yet. Z3M seat covers for a set of 2 start at $900, E36 M3 interiors will likely start at a similar price (maybe a bit more due to the complicated headrest, Z3 seats are one piece) and add a few hundred for the rear bench.

    Bumping because hats are now available, featuring genuine M rain under the brim and a tricolor stripe up front, represent the brand you love in a subtle way

    Looking at acquiring some vaders in the next week or so, found a really nice set of later style vaders that seem to fit all the criteria but they are manual

    So wanted to ask before I snag them - do the manual adjustments change the seat cover fitment versus power seats? RealOEM doesn't seem to indicate any differences unless I'm reading it wrong.

    Assuming they are the same, we will have vader pre-made seat covers available by the start of the summer

    Awesome! Manual Vader's are way better than power imo.

    Can't say if they are different layout.

    I'm in for a set of covers for sure.

    Do you think the covers will be Alcantara bolsters with mrain in the center ? Also what about the rear seats?

    Once we have the template, every set will be custom made per order. So each customer can specify what materials they want. The set we are looking at has a 50/50 split rear seat which we will also have a template for if we buy it

    Available now in gray and black, no ghosting on the gray this batch



    We have a vader seat to make templates from, but are having a lot of trouble making the headrests fit nicely. We are pretty confident we can get full fabric covers to fit perfectly, but want to iron out the template as a lot of customers will probably want cloth with leather bolsters...

    If you want alcantara or seude bolsters and fabric seat centers for vader pre-made seat skins, I think I can accommodate that now on a per-order basis. PM me if interested.

    Hey Graham would you do the skins by piece? If I could get just 2 seat bottoms I’d order a pair. They are the only parts of my seats showing real wear.

    - 98 m3, techno/anthrazit cloth, 124k and officially worthless - 89 m3, alpine/black 143k and officially old - 2000 323it, tiag/grey, 169k and officially boring

    I picked up these today for about US$40:



    And they're going into my 328is along with this rear end with material from this thread:



    Which has been replaced with this in the M3:



    And now I'm just waiting on your front Vader covers to be ready and I'll be set!
