Front seat prices

jibber_monkey · 13-11-2018, 07:54 AM

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve looked at genuine CSL parts prices but have BMW stopped manufacturing a bunch of parts? Genuine front seats were going for £2.5-3.5K not very long ago but they appear to have almost doubled. Is this right? Or are there just a couple of people chancing their arm on eBay?

Iv been offered £5.5k for my pair.

They are only worth what people will actually pay for them.

I'm missing 2 front and rears but I would not be paying stupid money for them.
It can stay stripped out with recaros

With the asking prices for CSL items I might be better off breaking my CSL

Gazza,

You jest but that is the reality am afraid!

Hmmmm rather interesting. Prices really have firmed up! The fact you say offered £5.5k rather than sold for £5.5k suggests you’re hoping to get a bit more?

Agreed, it just seems people are willing to pay quite a bit more than there were just a couple of years back.

It's the latter. Knowing what they were worth a few years ago, hard to make someone gain a lot more for nothing at my own expense.

Still brilliant seats.

Very tempted but just cannot see myself parting with them.
