WTB: E46 M3 OEM Red Seats

[Prestovie]

Really looking around for a set of OEM m3 seats and interior, only problem is that the trim on the m3 is for a coupe so it wouldn't fit my car, but I can still fit the front and back seats.
If anybody stumbles across anything let me know, or if you're parting out definitely hit me up!
Also, trying to avoid worn leather, too expensive to fix.
Thanks!

I don't think the rear seats will fit a sedan. The coupe's rear door cards curve a bit inward, which makes the rear seats narrower than the sedan setup. That, and the shape of the seats are different back there.

Shoot actually? God that's such a bummer, I can still put regular e46 seats in the back though right if I found them in red?

Sure, but the only red interior available for E46 sedans in the states was Tanin Red, on the pre-facelift cars. That is an incredibly rare interior, and doesn't match the Imola interior of the M3.

If you really want the Imola Red M3 seats, you're best off getting the fronts and reupholstering the rears to match. Don't forget the door cards!

I'll take the fronts if I can find them! Get a little two tone action going lol. And yeah door cards are always nice:)

correct. the bench portion on the coupe curves upward on the outer edges, whereas the sedan is flat. the rear outer seat back pieces are very similar between the two, however the coupe units are shorter because of the plastic seat belt retainer on top.

the only part that interchanges is the rear seat back, and you would need to have a folding rear seat sedan as the coupes all have folding rear seats.

the door cards from a coupe won't fit a sedan. you'll have to go custom. but i think BP was meaning to have them reupholstered with the rear seats.

Thank you so much!! Just messaged the guy, that's perfect and they look great. $1200 is a fair price for seats in that condition, but hopefully I can get it down to around $1k even.

Bill is great to deal with. This is based on my past purchases from him.

[BMWCurves]

$1200 is not a bad price at all. Those are good looking seats.

Beautiful interior. Hopefully you can work out a deal with him. :thumbsup
