Hi All,

First post. Just bought a '99 323i and too my dissappoinment I found out it
really does not have leather seats.
(could have fooled me, wait, actually it did fool me)

I really like everthing else about the car. Great value for the price.

Inside, the 323i has a feeling of quality evidenced by precise control
action and high-grade materials. And although the seats are not leather and
there is no genuine wood trim, the interior is not austere as on last year's
318i sedan. In fact the standard "leatherette" (that's German for vinyl)
seating was comfortable and fooled most passengers who thought it was the
real thing. The 10-way adjustment allows the sport seats to fit a variety of
human body types.



I do have the sport package. What is best way to get real leather interior
by replacing skins?

1) harvest the skins from a wrecked e46 and .... Will standard e46 seat
covers fit 323i e46 sport seats?

2) Buy aftermarket leather upholstry? Anyone have a high quality source?

3) Keep pretending my Pleather is real leather.

Thanks in advance
