FS: Imola Red INTERIOR - Seats & Door Panels - Lumbar Support! - $1,800 - NY, NJ, CT

ventura_328Ci · Mon, Nov-23-2009, 03:54:02 AM

I am asking $1,800 for a full Imola Red Interior that came out of a 2003 M3 at around 60,000 miles. The car was totaled, and the driver's seat back frame was bent in the collision. The driver's seat will need to be repaired. Don't let this scare you away, however, because it is not too difficult to fix this seat.

At first, I was under the impression that the components from this seat would have to be transfered over to another M3 seat (probably a cheap gray one), but it turns out the process is much, much easier and cheaper than this! It is a very cheap and easy repair! After doing my research, I found that the only part of the driver's seat that is damaged is the "backrest frame" (52108234341), which happens to cost a mere $71.47 from the dealership! Check it out at RealOEM.com: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...28&hg=52&fg=25

If you want to save even more bucks, you can order this part from Tischer for only $57.18! (Search part number "52108234341" at this link: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...72&catalogid=0)

All that you would have to do to get this seat back to normal would be to remove the leather cover, cushion, and plastic parts. Then disassemble the inner parts and remove the bent seat backrest frame from where it attaches to the bottom half of the seat. Once you have this big piece off, just install the new, unbent frame. Then put everything back together and you will have a perfect Imola Red driver's seat! A few other small miscellaneous pieces might have to be purchased too, but these shouldn't add up to over $50 at the most. Everything that you see in the pictures is what you get.

These seats are full power with adjustable lumbar support. They have every option except heat. The leather on the passenger seat is in excellent condition, and the back seats look to have never even been sat in! The door panels are all in great shape also. The driver's seat exhibits some normal signs of wear on the bolster, but it is still in very good shape. There are no rips or tears in any of the leather.

I am located in Stratford, CT and would really prefer a local pickup. If you are interested, you can come by and check everything out before you commit to buying. The full interior should fit into an SUV in one trip just fine. I really don't want to ship unless I am offered a ridiculous price lol. I have all of these pics and even more in high-res, so if you want me to email you them, let me know.
