I was just browsing ebaymotors and came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/330ci-coupe-performance-pkg-ZHP-cold-weather-pkg-prem-pkg-imola-red-xenon-/290996023507?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item43c0b6f0d3

Anyone ever seen a Natural Brown interior that looks like this? I first thought it was seat covers, but the fitment looks better then seat covers. Maybe some had custom upholstery built for the car?

Looks custom to me.

Also looks almost brand new.

Definitely custom. Not a bad look though.

I've seen those covers on a for-sale car before. Not sure if it was this one or not.

I think it looks tacky.

I agree that it is a little tacky. Also, looking at the carpets, they're tan, so this one started out as a tan interior, not natural brown.

The ebay ad says tan, not natural brown. Though I admit the front seats look closer to NB than tan, meaning the interior is a bit mis-matched as the rear seats and carpet are tan.

The ad also confirms the two-tone seats are aftermarket (not that there was any doubt).

This was the original thread. All the AT.com links are dead. I didn't check to see if it is relisted there.

I would recommend not buying from this seller unless you see the car in person and have a PPI done first. Just some friendly words of advice for my family!

I agree. There is something fishy about this.

I would also wonder why it is being bounced from dealer to dealer after 5 months. Clean ZHP's don't require a lot of effort to sell!

Good call Jon. Had I been really paying close attention, I should've picked that up (along with the black & tan dash as true NB has a solid black one).

I'm not in the market for another IR ZHP, but glad that the familia knows what we are seeing on the market!
