Has anyone got a car with Sports seats that are also

- non leather
- on a non M Sport model

As i'm thinking of going down SE route but want the sports seats but not sure on what they would look like if I don't go for leather.

I'm thinking of keeping the cloth or going half leather maybe..

So i'm trying to see what they look like.

I am sure Simon (NFS) has these seats but they will be sport

I do have the Alcantara sports seats, but my car is an msport. This is a good pic of the seats (Gizzes old car):



That's on an msport as well though.

This picture is from the configurator on the BMW website and it shows the sports seats on an SE. Don't think they look anywhere near as nice as you don't get Alcantara. There is a £410 option for part leather, which gives you leather bolsters, but I don't think they look particularly good. You'd be better off going with full leather IMO.

If possible, I would always try to push out for the leathers for both your ownership of the car and the resale later on.

These are the optional sports seats fitted to my SE. They are slightly darker than has come out in this picture, I would say they are actually halfway between the configurator picture NFS posted and what is shown here:

The sport seats are the same actual seat whether you have them as an SE cost option or part of the M sport pack.

Covering material aside of course.

The problem is that its for my next car. If I end up in 3er then I'd like sports seats again. Adding full leather is too much to add onto the lease (Company car).

Car choice is 330d SE, 325d M Sport / SE

As my wish list is

USB interface
Hifi upgrade (cheap one)
Xenon's

So the half leather option is possible.

I already have the alcantara seats in my Si.

This is the part leather one from the configurator.

It's a real shame you can't get the alcantara. I think it looks a lot more 'plush' than these.

True

But then i'd have to have another M Sport....

Its a dilemma at the moment. 325d says head. Heart says 330d.
I had a 335d demo car last week I was just blown away with how much power is delivered to the wheels.
