1. wolferj .. great writeup. I have been following it step by step to get my m3 sport seats done. So far, so good. 2. Instead of using the drywall anchor, I decided to source them for the bmw parts counter. Those POS's were a b*tch to get all the way off.. so I thought that I might like to put those back on to keep my seats nice and secure. Long story short, I got the replacement clips that are broken off in the process. They were $0.26 a piece (pn 52 10 8 130 678). Totally affordable in my opinion. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...i/DSC02468.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...i/DSC02470.jpg Again, thanks for the great writeup. Just thought that I'd add that tid bit in, in case anyone out there wants to replace these with the proper bmw part. |
Always a great idea to use oem parts if available... I appreciate you posting up the part numbers for anyone interested. Also, be sure to post up pics of your seats when you are done! |
Is there anyone out there that is interested in redying their m stripes? I might buy some colorant for them, but it's going to be way too much for the job. If I get enough interest, I was thinking of getting smaller kits together and distributing them. Post here if you're interested. Thanks. |
my results Okay... so mine didn't turn out as well as wolferj's, but here they are. m3 sport seats: You can definately tell which one was the drivers side before. I might do a once over again when we get a new compressor. (someone apparently stole ours over the last few weeks :confused:) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...i/DSC02473.jpghttp://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...i/DSC02474.jpg I'll post picts of my back seat when it is finished. |
How is this holding up currently? |
They are holding up great! I had some serious doubts about this product, but it seriously works. I also went ahead and dyed my door cards so that they would match.. (dove grey seats with the original sandgrey of the ti didn't settle with me so well) |
Here is a more complete DIY that's in the Knowledge Base; http://318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25904 Also, the seats have worn great. After 2 years, the black refinish job needed a little touchup here and there, but for asthetics, not because the finish wore off... I sold the coupe that had the dove seats about a year after I did the seats, and they were still in great shape, the finish was holding up fine... |
Good to hear! Nice write up too! Im think im going to be doing this, you guys have any idea what the color code is for my car? Its a 95 318ti active with tan leather interior. Also with the kit u can get glossy finish ect, what options did you get with your kits? |
James- what was the color code and finish that you used for the dove gray kit? I need to take my vaders apart to fix a bent driver's seat back and figure that this would also be a good time to refinish them. Thanks! |

So, some one "gifted" me a pair of Vaders recently, which needed refinishing. So I went to work on them and here are the results; http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5533/9...286966d8_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3691/9...694fa250_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5524/9...54c22c60_b.jpg The passenger seat back is from a sport seat, so it's missing the ///M stripes. The Drivers side is also heated back and bottom, the passenger seat is only heated on the bottom. I cannot use them since my interior is black, so who wants them? |
