What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Which BMW are the seats from?

BMW E85 Z4 M-Sport seats. 2003-2008 era. These are super nice to have in the ZHP as they match the OEM style of our cars yet were the inspiration for the modern seats in today's M cars so they do not look out-of-date. They are also plug and play (memory, heat, movement all work) and don't require rail adapters. Everyone that gets into my car compliments them - even my mom who knows nothing about cars nor cares for them.

Wish you weren't on the other side of the country, I would buy the manual ones immediately.

Feel free to PM me what you are looking for exactly (your exact 'dream configuration' - seat, leather, color, options, etc...) and I can hook you up with door-to-door shipping from my many contacts. Let me know your budget too because I wouldn't want to waste your time.

Re-arranging seats for the ZHP. Heated/powered/leather or heated/manual/fabric...

Those seats are awesome . . .

I really like the black fabric versions. If I keep them I'd pair them up with the black fabric centers I have for the rears (from original fabric/alcantara set) and use leather rear side bolsters and a leather bottom cushion I have for my current all black leather interior. The rear interior would very closely match the fronts and would be a very unique OEM setup (mix-match leather/fabric hybrid).

If I ever have more money/need to reupholster my seats, I'll probably go the route of E30 M-Tech II fabric: https://www.m-fabrics.com/collection...tech-ii-fabric

I've never seen that fabric before and I love it. Unfortunately the upholstery shops close to me are way too expensive. They all quote around $4k. Gone are the days of re-upholstery costing $1k or less. Materials alone is close to $1k or more.

Hello everyone. I had not checked in in a very long time. All is well. My ZHP is doing well, approaching 60,000 miles. I recently replaced the water pump, thermostat, belts, control arm bushings, and the alternator for 150A one. I just finished doing an oil change

Hi. Can’t complain. Retired, but staying busy. I’m almost done with a 1-year auto mechanic course. I’m finally feeling confident turning wrenches.

I bought a second 2002 in August, a 1976. I’m planning a restomod. How are you?
