So long story short. I have an e46 m3 that has a tear in the driver's seat. This is somewhat of a budget "build"...(Ironic I know..m3 budget build) I wanted to know where I could go to get the seat repaired and not spend an arm and a leg. I say this because, I have seen used m3 seats go for under $300 and complete interiors for under $1500. Can anybody recommend any shops that they have used in the past? Thanks for the help!

 

Not M3 related, but I was considering giving my s2000 a seat refresh with the Clazzio Seat Covers.
Do they have anything like that for the m3? Just a thought

 

nevermind - seat covers are $300, at that rate, might as well get new seats

 

I had my seats repaired at Finishline Tops & Interiors in Mooresville. (704) 696-2526. Mike, the owner, is super nice. He replaced two panels in my driver's seat and one in my passenger seat (and rebuilt the bolsters while the covers were off). I felt the price was fair and the craftsmanship was awesome.

Depending on the color, your challenge will be finding matching leather. Mine were red and given the age, matching was problematic, but he made it work by dying the leather.
