Alcantara Repair

[ELCID86]

I had a quote from a shop near me of $250-300 to do the bolster. Your quote is reasonable.

Yeah, driver's side back only; I got it from RealOEM.

Ah, I see. I thought it was the entire seat cover. I got excited.

Do they even sell the front seats ? I though I read they r discontinue

That part number is available at Tischer and ECS Tuning. There are some other interesting options in there, too. I think I'm in love with this one!

M Cloth? Rare! I'm not sure it first the ZHP bolsters as it is a M3 seat.

when you say back cover you mean the front of the seat right? And not a seat cover like some crap you buy at walmart for $20

Yes, the upholstery that your back rests on, not the one your butt rests on. :-) Get to know RealOEM; it's an awesome resource. Here's the "Seat, front, uphlstry, cover, Sport seat" section for my 330Ci. The part number I mentioned earlier is highlighted in red toward the bottom. Once you have a part number, you can usually find it for sale at ECS Tuning, Tischer, RM European, plus a few others (but these allow you to search by BMW part number, which is pretty damn handy).

Thanks man I'm slowly catching on lol. Working on a deal now that's where the picture came from. The whole steering wheel is missing the alcantara I doubt that is unable to be recovered right?

That's not uncommon. The first ZHP I test drove looked like that, and frankly it was preferable to the booger-encrusted … *thing* I steered my car with. (Check out my project thread for before/after pics from cleaning it). You can get the wheel re-covered by Coby for about $200 (and from the pictures, it's nicer than it was from the factory).

Say someone is parting out a salvaged car do I need to buy a new airbag then?
