They look like recaro seats to me, had similar if less garish in my old Audi S6.

Sure they cost a few quid though

Agreed, the switchgear looks non BMW for the seat movements but the matching leather leather with the rest of the interior suggests its factory installed, unless the interior has been redone along with new recaro seats sometime after the car left Buchloe.

The interior is certainly an acquired taste, but who on earth puts naff alpina stickers on the wheels :no

The interior is hardly refined and doesnt help bring out the best in the wooden trim.

Wheel stickers are ghastly!! No has flamed the Alpina Rondels?

seats look familiar for some reason, possibly an aftermarket install and trimmed to match the rest of the interior?

The red and wood is a great combo, but is hardly seen at its best in photographs, always best seen in the metal.

However am sure this car has been advertised before as those stripes don't look original to the car

The seats are factory installed Recaro - a costly option and fitted to a few cars, take a look on the archive to see other cars with these seats.
