Well done on the seats chap, much better than standards :p

Oh and another +1 for the 108s :)

I picked up a set of 108's recently for such a silly price, I now actually own 10 individual 108's... Oops. I'll definitely now be keeping them, don't worry.

2 are knackard, one set are now on the car, and one set are totally apart with all bolts in 100% perfect condition.

The ones on the car are in original BMW finish, polished lip, and I actually really like it, so Ant and I are going to refurb the lips on them as the centres are fine, and I have two pzero nero's to go on the fronts and the rears are brand new.

The full spare set will be getting an OEM refurb by myself as they fetch great money then, approx £500 without tyres!!!!

I R UPSET @ WHEEL CHOICE.

I think those seats will look awesome though. But you still need CSLs to finish the look, it'd be perfect then.

Rim raider Rob ;)

I couldn't help it! I was only supposed to have 6 wheels, two effectively "scrap" because they're not perfect (few snapped split bolts), but then when this last set came up I actually couldn't help but buy them. Only by chance I was the first person to phone up and the guy held them despite about 20 other calls.

I knew you would change your mind :p

I know, I really didn't like it, then on the car, the polished bit just adds something.

We'll see, but doing seats and CSL's would mean dropping £2k ffs! 108's and spacers look mint, you'll see.

Happy you're not going for the CSL's mate, I really rate the 108's!

Just seen the seats! Nice! Good to "individual" it a bit!
 
Re: E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project (Thanks for answers)

Do you know the sh*t standard seats are partly what puts me off the Z4. Such a good upgrade mate.

Seats aren't ridiculously priced mate, about right!
108s with a polished lip are a good choice, I love the one I did, far too much hard work to do all 4 lol. I might pay a teenager to do the labouring in the summer for me!

Ta, well you should like it when I'm finished then. Fussy.

Ta mate, I hope they look as awesome as I imagine they will.

When they're in mate I'll come pick you up, see if the opinion is changed.

LOL! Good man Chris, I'll be doing all four with the centres out and a disc sander, much faster. Work it up to 2000 grit and then laquer.


I have a new HUGE problem, IF the seats are from a facelift, the occupancy sensor doesn't work. So it keeps going off or kills the airbags etc..

So... I need to find a seat bottom (I don't want to use my current one) to strip down and remove the sensor from, then take apart my new f**kING EXPENSIVE seat and fit the sensor. Thought of it makes me want to cry.

So yeah, being an individual colour, they probably are facelift, and I probably have to do surgery, but I'm just waiting to hear...

Sooo jealous of your seats mate, the standards are poor for hooligan driving and after an hour or so they hurt my back.

M seats are 'ballin.

OK, LOADS better than I expected, I guess I expected closer to Tan.

Awesome mate!

Love the seats mate. Which is a surprise for me as I usually hate, brown, cream or red seats.

Glad you all love them as much as I do. Best purchase ever!!!!

Colour looks immense in the flesh, whoever see's it will agree.

It's just bad lighting ginger, I promise. Whole side of the car was repainted so it's not just one panel, no way Jose.

Seats are gorgeous! Such a nice car this.
 
Re: E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project **SEATS FITTED (pics)**

Tan leather is simply heroic. I really wish you'd have gotten those wooden dash inserts - would've been full gentleman spec with the seats!
