Recaro+Bamboo=

BMWDEMON · 09-03-2012, 07:55 PM

Mannnnn, you make me miss this car so much....it hurts so good. Keep it up dude, it looks amazing!

If you all haven't seen bamboo in person you have to see it first...it is such a sexy color and not the usual "beige"

GAWD, I miss this car!!!! DAMNIT!!!!

We have recaro pole positions in my wife's car and have no complaints on long trips. Recaro makes some of the most comfortable seats even in their track versions. I would think the sportsters would be even more comfortable.

Big thanks to Sal@AUTOCouture, Andrew@IND, and the crew at Enterprise Upholstering in MD. They turned out great!

Also want to thank MAXXFISH for bamboo dash and console.

(leather will tighten up over the next week or so)

Very nice!! When you say the seats will tighten are you taling about the creases around the seat belt holes? Is this because they were died? Congrats!!

Yes, the leather will shrink and tighten up after the sun/heat hits it for a while. Actually mine already look alot better.
No it has nothing to do with the dye...just leather in general.

Ok cool just wondering. My seats didn't have any creases when I had them done. They stayed the same, anyways they look badass enjoy them.

It would be sweet if bmw offered recaro with a choice of their oem leather.

Detroit M3 · 09-18-2012, 11:41 PM

Nice! Those seats look awesome

7son · 09-19-2012, 10:54 AM

catch · 09-19-2012, 09:27 PM

WOAH! now thats an interior!
those look perfect in there

classic6 I know this post is hella old but if it reaches you, I am dying to try to find the OEM bamboo Beige leather to replicate what you have done if you can help me. I reached out to Relicate but they don't have that match. I just purchased an e90 with bamboo interior and would love to get some Recaro's if I can match them. My social media is stealthmode_motorsports on FB and IG.

There's a company called AMX Performance that does it in the US. They're extremely popular on IG for doing it to Recaro Sportsters
