Hey everyone .I really need a new set of seats in my e92. The OEM ones are broken down, and they are the standard ones at that. I have been looking for sport seats on marketplace, ebay, etc. There aren't a lot of options for the saddle brown color and people want a premium. Because of this I am considering aftermarket options.

I wouldn't mind fixed back, but I do have two kids that every once in a while I would take in my car vs my truck or the wifes lr4. Anyone have good suggestions for a good bucket type seat, leather or good quality simulated leather, that would ideally match the saddle brown interior.

Contact upholstery guys near you. Some of those guys are magicians.

I know one such magician who is going to redo my headliner. That being said, non sport seats are garbage.....I wouldn't pay a dime to reupholster them.

Different color sport seats and then buy a leather dye kit?
I’ve seen some people do it and the color I almost spot on.

Everyone wants to sell the entire interior, which i don't need. I'm always baffled by the e9x community and the lack of mods beyond simple bolt ons and OEM part swaps. I have had every single 3 series up to the e92, e38's,e39's, etc. Every other community there is a plethora of people that have done all sorts of interior mods that don't involve swapping over an OEM part.

I have a set of saddle brown standard e92 seats that I'd give you for free if you were in the Atlanta area. Driver side has a blown bag but passenger is fine. Could take it to an upholstery shop to restitch the seam.

What about checking out a wrecking yard for them?

I appreciate that. A little too far away unfortunately.

I hae been considering the Braum seats as they have a brown, but was really hoping to see if anyone had them to see how well they matched. THe other option I am considering is Corbeau sport line seats. They look great and would just go with black and deal with a slight missmatch. I would really love to just do fixed backs and a roll bar, but I think my wife may kill me since I already have a track prepped, gutted and caged, m52 turboed e30.....

haaken675 - I have dakota black, sports, heated fronts in nearly perfect (leather) condition. the junction seat module is not present. I am in CA, not sure if shipping would make it cost prohibitive.

I got these seats from another forum member with intent to retrofit into E91.
I then learned that it is too much effort to make coupe seats to fit into wagon/sedan.

I recently got myself proper E90/91 front sports and E92's are taking space in garage
