m5 leather seats on ebay

[3rdE34]

Hi Everyone,

sorry i havnt introduced myself properly yet and havnt got the photo side of things happening but wondered what you thought about these?

i have cloth seats in excellent condition with nice fitted lambswool fronts but this offer on ebay caught my attention..

some of my thoughts are,

are they in as good condition as they claim?

would they go with my navy blue dash, console and blue carpet?

i live in a fairly hot area, when i had my last e34 with leather seats i lived in a cooler climate but still found them a "bit sticky"

i plan on keeping the car so do i put them in storage till i wear the cloth ones out? or fit them and put the cloth ones in storage.... (the mind boggles)

am i better off spending less money and investing in a computer chip and be happy with the cloth.....?

following is the link to them...

idk if they would match blue, but damn i'd like to have them . they look to be in pretty good condition. if you're in doubt contact the seller and ask for more detailled pictures, that's probly your best bet. if it's real hot you can get seat covers or something to try and diffuse the heat as best you can

thanks for your sound advice angrypancake i have emailed the seller for more detailed photo's. i tried to upload some photos of my interior to show but the files were too big (ill get there) i think the black will go with the blue and i do have black in the centre of the dashboard and seat belts (least there is some). im hoping that my sheepskins will fit over the leather front seats.also the door trims would look heaps better than what i have.... thanks again ill keep you posted

You can't get E35 Mtech interior and then throw sheepskins over it... that must be a sin, am I right?

yes of course you are right.. i dont know what i was thinking...why cover beauty??.. i dont think they would fit anyway the seat looks deeper and slightly narrower... i think i will put up with the "bit sticky" for the awesome look.....thanks you snapped me out of it

heh screw that if it's hot as balls i'd rather have sheepskins, keep cool, and preserve the life of my seats.

thanks guys , i have pretty well made up my mind to bid for them.... and we will see what happens from there, i still have to "win" them yet.. the car is mainly garaged, so its not like they will heat up much...thanks for your comments, i appreciate it!

Those look really nice!

the leather somehow doesnt seem to get that hot,although i dont live in a HOT place.I find that with the sunroof tilted and a windscreen shade the interior never gets burning hot,even tho I have a black on black car
And look at he seats i have,
