If cost wasn't an issue, you could just buy the BMW leather by the yard (I think) and get a custom upholster job on it. I'd of course buy some cheapo Grey seats to do it on so you could at least sell the Imola to someone who really wants it.Originally Posted by UdubBadger

It's been considered but not sure if I will just go lightweight racing seats or not yet.If cost wasn't an issue, you could just buy the BMW leather by the yard (I think) and get a custom upholster job on it.

I really like the cinnamon. Had a chance to buy a good set for a good price for my vert. Couldn't pull the trigger. I just like the dark, subtle, stealth of black on black. Cinn would have ruined that - as good as it looks.

You'll be miserable if the car will be daily driven...

TThat's the other thing that's up for debate. My lease rates on Audi Honda VW and Mbenz are pretty attractive to pick up a DD.

Do you plan on taking it to the track? If not it really isn't worth it. It's a huge expense just to be uncomfortable even when you do drive it...

If I had it my way I'd be buying real estate in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin.
Likely though I'd like the car to become a weekend cruiser and car I take maybe 4-5 times a year to track.

Yeah, knowing this, I stand by what I said. For weekend cruising, normal seats are a must.
Talk to Derek if you want to know what it's like to live with. He might be able to provide some valuable insight. I'm a bigger guy so I've never been comfortable in racing seats, but that tends to change person to person.

I would likely go more comfort oriented seats like recaro Sportsters or something like that, not the full on race moulded ones

Yes they are. I've seen E-Classes going for 10k off MSRP plus some aggressive lease terms. Honda always has some crazy year end lease deals this time of year as well. Not sure about VW/Audi.
