Speed Cloth
I have cloth seats in my E46 M3 and love it.
I searched and searched. Has anyone seen photos of the speed cloth interior ? |

Wow...have to admit this is new information for me.
I have always liked the cloth interiors that I have seen in E36 M3's. Especially in the E36 M3 LTW's. I did a search and saw that there is some speculation on cloth being the base models seats and leather being an option. If this is the case I may just take the cloth/leather combo seats. I assume I would be givving up heated seats though? Oh...talk about easier to maintain. Too bad the bolsters arent cloth, they will probably recieve the most wear anyway. Jason

So, one has to order the cloth seats instead of the standard leather seats then? And, I am assuming there is no discount or anything? I can't imagine the base car coming standard with cloth seats and leather seats being an option in the US, but I guess it is possible.

"Standard seats = cloth mid-section, with leather bolsters." http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...light=canadian Leather is optional. I think that is over the top for a car that will cost $55k+. |

I'd say it'd better come in under $57k if cloth is standard. They are probably doing this to keep the base price down like Greg was saying. This most likely would mean navigation would be optional as well, which is great news for me because I don't want it...

Kindness is relative, in this case normal behavior is construed as kind when contrasted to assholeness. You get my point.

Pity these seats don't have suede bolsters, like the standard E36 Vaders. I'm hoping to get two of those for the front of my 320i.

If leather is going to be an option I think Id save the cash and stay with the cloth. My only concern would be resale value. Who thinks this will effect resale?

I'd say this is one option that would have an impact on resale. Then, there are always people who have different tastes. However, the car would not be as liquid as it would be with leather, and it would take much longer to get rid of. Not sure that you'd save a ton of money either buy not ordering leather since the clotch seats are not all cloth...BMW's pitch is that clotch surfaces keep you more pinned during hard cornering and so on I think.

'01 power seats
I believe power seats were also part of the Luxury Package; I know for sure the memory feature was.
