M5 Seats (archive)

I have a 1988 M5 with the stock front seats that are in desperate need of repair. Both need to be completely recovered. My M5 has many aftermarket parts, so keeking it stock is not a big issue. Should I recover the front seats or replace them with some type of aftermarket sport seats?

Will it be hard to match the faded leather on the back seats?

Will the car be harder to sell with sport seats?

Has anyone done the modification in their M5s.

Thanks in advance,

Ted Merendino
