as per the title

i have 2 front seats from a 2000+ model bmw z3

these will fit earlier cars but the wiring looms are the same/similar but the connecting plugs are not. i
Have bought the genuine bmw looms and these will now fit all z3s I understand.
these are in very good order.everything seem to work although no warranty is given but you can test them as they are in my car currently,

the leather has been treated with gliptone products and has a nice patina.all foams are good with slight wear in the usual bits as shown in the pictures.

they have had a few more coats of leather food and look and feel wonderful.

im happy to wrap and post as long as you understand the costs £75 to regular uk postcodes,they are heavy and the risks that the courier will break or damage them.if i post them you need to open them and check them before signing otherwise i will not entertain any damage claims.

price wise £500 once I get my original back from the worst trim shop in Lancashire

There sport seats and not ///M seats, so probably need to be a bit cheaper, but very nice seats, and for any potential buyers you can buy the patch harness for the electrics to fit older cars (pre 1999).

Cheers for that
Any idea where to get the looms as I did a fair search and couldn't find any

Well now you know you can get the adapters, keep the sport seats and sell the other seats

update.
bought the adpators

fitted them and the seats no problems

sent the originals to the worst trimming company in the uk for a warrant repair to the work they had done 2 months earlier (new panels replacement foam and re color to match older parts of seat)

they signed for them as OK.10 days later report to me that the leather was damaged on one of them.way to late to claim and with a clear signature the courier company,their in the clear so who should pay for this oversight.yes the customer who needs the seats back in the car so he can sell the spare seats before summer ends and everybody puts their cars to bed for winter

turns out they damaged the seat pre-tensioner the 1st time they had the car to sort the seats.how did they fix it.yes lets remove the bulb and fill the hole with silicone.
now found and fixed

4 weeks of unanswered calls,broken promises, been asked would i like them a darker colour? erm no thanks

i wont name them just yet until i get the seats back

So sad to hear this sort of thing, but we'll all want to know the grisly details when you have your seats back.

Sadly a common problem from unscrupulous sellers, but I've never heard of a company try that to cover a bodge :wideyed:

Yep neither me nor the bmw specialist I use had seen the hole blocked before,tape yes,blown bulb yes,no fuse and disconnected wiring yes..

The annoying things is the work they did and stitching was first class bar the wrong colour leather(darker)
Then they tell me you can't get correct colour, I say gliptone list all three shades of Estoril blue and have them in stock .phone went silent while they thought of a response.

I suspect a visit is in order once the deadline has passed for them to complete then job .downside is its 90-120 mins away on a good day and they dont start work early or finish late and certainly not at weekends so will mean a day off work and more costs.

On the upside I have a trimmer near Preston who will get the work if these are substandard

I hate reading about Cowboys that is disgusting hiding a mistake like that instead of holding there hand up. After you get this settled I would email them with a link to the thread to see how they have damaged there own self interests.

Thats good then.. as I am looking at a company not far from me to do my bits.. These guys seem to be getting a few good thumbs up from some local car clubs. I do like the BMW M3 seats part way down the page too.

I used to use a company in Cheshire called trim technique. They were excellent. I hope it's not the same firm.
