The covers I have are the Austrailian-made covers found in the "Original BMW Accessories" catalog that you can pick up at your local BMW dealer. In the 2000 catalog, they are item C on page 45. Mine are the "natural" color. The description in the catalog reads,
C. Austrailian Merino
Sheepskin Seat Cover Set
Plush, deep-pile, four piece matched
set includes two seat covers and
headrest covers. Fully lined to provide
protection, tailored for a custom fit
and color-coordinated to match your
interior. For standard and sport seats.
Made from imported fabrics.
You do have to remove the headrests to install the covers (this is easy), but the cover only slightly overlaps the very top of the back side of the seat. Otherwise, the covers have an open back. There are straps underneath the bottom part of the cover, which are used to secure the bottom of the cover to the seat bottom. If you would like photos of the actual covers, I would be happy to send some to you. The only difficulty I've had with them is that the driver's side cover seems to have shrunk just a bit when I washed it. However, it does fit and may just need someone to sit in it for awhile.
Dealer list on the covers is $465. The covers I have are in excellent condition and I'm willing to let them go for $265 + packaging & shipping. If your interested, just give me a shout.
Regards,
Lamar
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
