Where to find M3 seat cushions?

[Pianomanlja]

you mean the rear pads?
the front sport seat pads (lower & backrest) do not show NLA and def can be bought.

I mean Part Numbers:

52208144701 and
52208144712

But to be clear, these are the non-‘Vader Sport Seats, correct?

Does the M3 ‘Vader and M3 Sport Seats share the same seat cushion?

Correct. The regular sport seats. Not the M sport/Vader seats.

The Vader seat and the regular sport seat do not share any of the padding with the Vader, but from what I understand OEM Vader seat pads are NLA but somewhat available otherwise. But also again, the front seats aren’t the seats I’m looking for. I’m looking for the 2 that make up the rear seat. I think I’m using the wrong wording or something because I’ve said it 4 times but people keep asking me to clarify it is what it is I know I’m probably not being clear enough.

So I’m talking about the back seat. The one that hypothetical passengers 3 & 4 would take when passenger 2 calls shotgun. The rear seat. I’m looking for the 2 pads that make up that seat. I have the lower pads from the 2 front seats from ECS and supposedly the upright portion for the front seats are going to be on their way soon from

Thanks for the help. I managed to find the front backrest finally.

It looks like pelican may have your seats.

Again, these part numbers fit Sedan rear seats not the Coupe, correct?

Those results I linked are based on the part numbers you listed in Post #26. My rear seats are in good condition so I'm not needing to replace them. The rear seats and rear backrests on my sedan are different part numbers than the ones you listed - I'm guessing you have a coupe. I was able to find mine separately on pelican as well, but I did not link those results.

I never did thank you for those links @JARblue -- those are the correct ones, and for some reason all my googling and scouring of the internet never turned up those parts. Thanks! They look to be the right ones I still haven't gotten around to putting the seat covers on them as I'm still waiting on delivery of the new daily... was supposed to be here by now but there have been issues with wiring harnesses out of ukraine which put a big kink in things.

Congrats! Glad I could help. Unfortunately, I never did find the front backrests for my m3 sedan - they canceled my order and said they were discontinued.

When does Mobile Traditions take over from the Dealer network?

MAXIMILLIAN IMPORTING COMPANY

https://www.bmwmobiletradition-online.com/

Edit 05/28 -
‘Vader foam Seat Cushions and foam Seat Backs seem to be in the Mobile Traditions catalog.

I purchase products from Mobile Traditions (Maximillian), but I don’t believe they have access to product that is not available from dealers, or other distributors like ECS Tuning or FCP Euro. If suppliers say they can get anything available from the BMW Parts Catalog (Current or Classic), then they have equal access that Mobile Traditions has. In fact, distributors likely purchase those Classic parts from from Mobile Traditions.

I see more numbers I know have been NLA since forever and are still listed.

But the same applies to official BMW Dealer webshops. You'd think there online catalog is up to date.
