I think it’s more textured than Napa. It’s more like the Dakota/Montana (which one do we have?) that’s in the regular non-M.Quote:

I believe Dakota is standard in all 330’s, I know base models have a vinyl-ish leather finish that’s prone to tearing, just not sure of the name.... somebody chime in and correct me if I’m wrong lol

I had such a poor example of Montana in my car, my car came from Florida and the leather was so hard, dry, and even cracking. It eventually tore directly along the seam of the drivers seat cushion completely :\Quote:

As of this Saturday I’ll have sold my OEM sport seats
I spent 40$ of my own money on my M3 seats
And now I’m selling my sport seats for 200$
That’s 160$ + my money invested + M3 seats = a big smile and a much more comfortable driver
Couldn’t ask for a better deal than that lol

No sir, this car will be for sale and the cost to do the body work will run me around $5500 more and that's not something I have to invest in this car.Quote:

Ahhh okay, so they are the same grain leather as the back seat despite the replacement of the leather-hideQuote:

Do you still offer your retrofit service for the side mirrors? Could use your help to the max lol

BMW's E46 leatherette/vinyl is called SensaTec. The black SensaTec interior in our 2002 325xi still looks like new.Quote:
