I know, right? The problem is this: the 'collector' value of the car has gone through the roof over the past few years (duh), and it created a huge demand for parts for restorations and flips. Recovered M3 seats sell for $3500 now and they're the same thing as vert seats just with the folding handle moved up a few inches.

So if you need ANYTHING m3 specific now, you've gotta pay to play. Sucks for the little guys, though. Speaking of m3.....

Interior resto coming along nicely. The cluster is off at Bavrest and we are dealing with issues involving the SI board and the temp gauge. I am sending out a spare SI board in hopes to remedy that issue. We scored some fantastic, completely mint center console/interior pieces and transferred the factory M3 fabric over. Got the M3 knob/boot and leather handle. We have 3(?) head units off being restored with added aux ports as well.
