hello all, im a newbie here to the forum, and just recently got into my first 76' 2002 model being updated. Im not new to BMW and currently drive my '88 535i around / it's silk on wheels. at the risk of missing something along the thread here and there, I'm writing to also ask for support on where to find a couple things, a black center console and new seats for my 2002 besides. I know i know eBay has a lot of listing buy sometimes from the photos i don't trust it. see attached for what i mean in the type of console and seats on the second photo i want. i've seen many that have done their versions and lot's photos on lines of many i like but just where are these available. when i searched and found some websites, they show small faded diagrams with tags to many parts and i can't make sense of them to feel like I'm clear on what I'm buying. amazing thing is i called one of these sources, a BMW site offering such part and when i asked about a photo to reference and ensure it would fit my car, the lady simply said, no we don't have pictures and not sure what else i can tell you..... ugh. so can anyone point in the right direction here, as well if there's a particular site for 2002 parts/accessories? many thanks in advance / cheers, jc
https://www.bmw2002faq.com/ http://www.mye28.com/ http://www.bimmerdoc.com/ (Carl Nelson) mye28.com is obviously 5'er-specific, but there is tons of expertise there, they may have references &/or insight. Otherwise, you could always hit up Rob Siegel or Mike Self directly via email. The sport seats above look like Recaro's, but I don't know enough about '02's to know if Recaro's were a factory option for '02's. The adjuster knobs obviously have a molded BMW roundel for the center cap. There were E21's that came with Recaro's, maybe those are recovered seats from a 320iS, but I wouldn't know definitively.
