DISCLAIMER: I am selling these seats which are in very good condition (7.5 out of 10) because I am installing vaders this week. The vaders I have now have yet to be tested,
so I am reserving the right to retract this sale because I love heated seats.
And I may keep them to swap out during the winter... but if the vaders are in good working condition (i.e. heating elements) then there's no problem with the sale of the seats. Ok... that said....
BMW '98 Sport Seats Manual/Heated I have for sale a pair of
BMW Black and Grey sport seats: Grey cloth insert, black leather bolsters and full leather headrest. For these I'm asking $200 or better offer. Like stated above I would rate them 7.5 out of 10. I have taken great care of them and have only babied them with Maguire's Leather products (not the best in the market but not your average stuff either). The leather has normal wear in the places you would expect but no significant mars or tears. The usual cracking or wrinkling of leather that is common in leather seats from cars our age are not apparent. As for the cloth inserts, they are in very good condition too. No significant stains that I know of or can see... and before I let them go, I will shampoo them to be sure of that. These are out of my '98 BMW 318ti Sport, so if you have seats with the grey inserts, it may be different in cloth insert pattern. The headrests are also stiched in leather, and are in near mint condition. Functional wise, there has been no problems. The adjusting levers are still in good working order... as well as the levers that make the seat move forward for rear passengers. The vinyl backs of these seats are in good condition, and the netting is also perfect. The elements in these heated seats are toasty, and make you have a hot arse in your hot car. Not sure what would be involved in retrofitting these in TI's without heated seats, but you may be able to still get the switches and wiring for that to add on(?). These are the sportiest seats you could have bought in a TI. They feature the Leg "bolsters" that slide out for long drives... and the side bolsters that cup you in turns. If you need new seats and aren't looking for aftermarket ones, these seats are for you.... or the friend who owns a TI and is looking for seats.
Asking 200 for the set (or better offer), local pickup. Open to shipping, but buyer would have to arrange and pay for shipping and boxing costs (which are pretty steep for something this heavy).
Genuine Sheep Skin Seat Covers For Sport Seats Lastly, I'm selling sheepskin covers that fit the sports seats aforementioned. They are grey/charcoal(perfect for grey and black interiors) and were made specifically for the sport seats of BMW's, however I do THINK they CAN fit standard seats as well, as the sport seats need more material for the bolsters. I bought these covers for $500 a pair (see
www.autoanything.com) in the summer of 2003 (while I was in Fire School). So these are hardly even 2 years old. They will come with headrest covers also made out of sheepskin and are color matched, these I believe were at least 50 a piece. I give the covers 9.0 out of 10.0... a 9 because they are used. They are great in the summer because it keeps the seats cool. I hate it when I get into the car and the seats burn you in your shorts (I'm origninally from FL). And in the winter, they keep the seats nice and warm...
(now I'm in SC... significant difference in winter temps). Anyways, I'm also
asking 200 + shipping for these or better offer. I'd keep them but they won't fit my new seats.
Will sell together(seats and seat covers) for $375 (+ whatever shipping and boxes expenses are incurred).
Sorry this classified is long, but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible for the people who are interested. I'll put pics up today in my photo gallery of the items listed. BTW, I am a non-smoker, and I don't have any friends that I know of who smoke or have smoked in the car (nothing against smokers... my mom smokes). So these items (even the seats) still smell like leather... mmm mmm good.
