Nice - did you have them covered yourself, or was it an option Recaro offered?

They look like BMW Performance seats which have been re-trimmed - 2,899.00 Euros, for the seats last time I looked.
I think 'Alx' has them fitted in his? They may also have been an un-publicised Euro option at the time of ordering.
One of two LHD CSLs I've seen have them fitted. (Pic just for ref)

Nice ones!

@Neil M: I have the original seats on mine.

Didn't you comment on a different thread about these seats, some time ago?
Were they an option at the time of ordering as an unspecified extra? Or is my memory playing tricks?

No, the thing is that my car had not the original bucket seats anymore. It had some regular BMW sport seats.

When I was trying to find some original seats, someone suggested these recaro seats.

i did comment on them some time ago,but hadnt posted a photo,
took a lot of work to find the oem material but worth it in the end result.
they were recovered by the recaro agent in the uk.
now i can keep the originals good

They look good! How much was it to get them trimmed to match the CSL interior, if you don't mind me asking?
