    Are there any German racing seat/steering wheel manufacturers like Momo/Recaro?

    Default Good luck finding some sports seats from an e24 for a

    reasonable price... thats why you see the comfort seats that were redone instead... My car originally had the sports seats and the recline mechanism gearboxes were bad... If i recall correctly they were almost 4oo each for the gearboxes, times 4... I even searched all over for useable gear boxes to replace mine instead and had no luck on the used end... So i finally gave up and bought the comfort seats that I have all the pics of being redone...
