Which E90s have a cloth interior?

kol · 12-10-2010, 09:54 AM

I know that all new E90s (I think from 08+) have no option for a cloth interior (base = leatherette)

But do any early 06/07 323/325/328s have a cloth interior?

No. Leatherette base on all I re-call.

In other markets, cloth and part leather / part cloth is available, but it has never been an option in North America on any E9x models.

homieG · 12-10-2010, 01:40 PM

peanuboy · 12-10-2010, 02:06 PM

you'll see cloth standard in models like 318, 320, either diesel or petrol models; which are not available in north america but popular in rest of the world

ya, I have a pair of cloth seats that I want to put upfront....but don't like the mismatch look.

Anybody have experience of shipping large parts from Europe/Asia to Toronto?

Shipped 4 rims in their original boxes from Hong Kong to Toronto in 2007. Paid around $3xxx for air mail with HK Post. All rims arrived within a week and I did not get nailed on customs.

Where did you get those seats? I'm actually flying to HK for vacation tonight.

you mean $3xxxHKD which is equivalent to about $4xxCAD I think, right?

I was back Dec 2009 and will do it again fall/winter 2011, last time I was back I brought back a pair of LED blacklines and a couple of other goodies (ebrake handle, shift knob...etc) back... always enjoy my time back there, especially the shopping and food!

enjoy your stay there!

I have the front seats in Toronto already - they are a pair of Recaro's that I used to use on my previous car. I just don't want to put them in and have mismatching rear seats/door cards

In Hong Kong, your chances of finding something good is difficult, you end up paying an arm and a leg for anything.

The best place to find German car parts is Hak Po Road in MK they have a place that specializes in BMW stuff. Other than that, theres nothing you want to bring back because it would be either a.) cheaper buying here or b.) ordering from the states.

Check German eBay, there are at least 2 sellers who sells E90 interior, either just the front or the whole interior (4 door panels, front and rear seats). Prices varies from 1500 to 2000+, depending on whether you need airbags. (Some come with airbags, others doesn't)
