seat swap - imola preferred

None

Item Interest

Hi,

Any interest in swapping my new-looking heated manual seats for someone else's heated power seats? Mine are Imola Red and I would prefer the same in return. However, black seats might work.

I suspect my manual seats are considerably lighter than power seats and may be of interest to a track enthusiast who wants a stock look, without the weight.

My seats look like they've never been sat in. Again, they are heated, manual adjusting seats.

Bit of a long shot perhaps, but I thought I'd ask.

As for credentials, I am new here but I can provide many references from other forums with whom I have done business.

Just a shot in the dark....

Cheers,
Ian

Where are you located?

EenyBear · 07-06-2011, 03:21 PM

West coast of Canada. However, apart from shipping, that's not an issue for me. You?
This is a great place to visit if you were thinking about a road trip.

However, I'm pretty much here for the summer (kid's camps and work etc.).

Can you take some pics? I have new heated/powered black seats in my 08 Z4M and I live about 2 hours from Seattle WA.

ZStig · 07-06-2011, 07:54 PM

Depending on the weight of the manual seats....

I'm confused, are you looking for manual or power seats?

I have black all manual seats. No power, no heat.

Pheonix · 07-07-2011, 10:24 AM

I would seriously considered to trade my Black, Power and Heated seats if this could be done within driving distance from NYC or Boston. Plus not sure how the rest of the leather interios will look. Might have to swap out the door panels as well?

Yes, I can see the original post wasn't completely clear.
I have made some clarifying edits.

I have the manual heated seats and I'm looking for power heated seats.
Thanks for alerting me to the issue.

Mine are Imola Red and I would prefer the same. However, black seats (power, heated) may work as well. It depends on who might respond.

Endless619 · 07-07-2011, 09:10 PM

Ok I responded to your email. Also yeah I would think if I got the red seats the door panels may have to be traded. lol I have all pretty new interior with 20k miles on it. Looks and smells new...

Got the black M seats (heated, automatic) from 2006 3.0si, 100k on them, but great shape (black leather lives the longest)

Can drive to do the swap (I'm in toronto)

Lemme know.

suprtran · 07-20-2011, 10:13 PM

I may have a set of black seats available. Let me know.

EenyBear · 07-22-2011, 02:03 PM

Still looking .... but I have decided that I'll need to find some Imola Red seats if this is going to happen. Like I said, it's a long shot... but I thought I'd try.

johanness · 07-23-2011, 12:41 AM

Do u know the weight savings between the two?
