E9 Seat Covers (World Upholstery)

Has anyone bought seat covers from World Upholstery (www.worlduph.com)? If so, I'd be interested to hear your opinion. I've been quoted $1150 for the front seats and $1150 for the rear. Let me know, thanks.

Great question? I have only seen one or two vinyl 2800CS seats, 99% in the US were leather and they are smooth. Are they suggesting they would emboss leather?

They suggested the basket weave, but I said no. They are looking to see if they have enough Herringbone to do the seats.
I have emphasized to my friend to do leather though.
Thanks

Thanks, I am suggesting to use leather and from GAHH, but not the sample pictured. I searched their site and found leather used for Porsche looks smoother.
 
Here is the factory upholstery book up through the 2800CS. Imitation leather (kunstleder) had the chevron style embossing.

Leather (leder) could have the basketweave style or perforated in Schwarz, Marineblau or Savana. I don’t think Hoffman ever ordered these leathers for the 2800CS and leather in general in Europe was pretty rare.

years ago i saw an early polaris 2800cs that was for sale, but was apart. the seat inserts were the black chevron pattern. i have no idea if it was an import or an early USA car (never got the VIN).
 
I think early coupes could have been Skai vinyl but it could also have been a Canadian import of which many had vinyl.
 
i really don't know as i didn't see the gauges to know if it was a Km speedo. just definitely vinyl seats and it was a 2800 cs. i remember the car was on a farm south of Greenville, SC ... around 2012 or 2013.

Hi Chris
Thanks, when you say “Chevron”, is it the same as “Herringbone “?

Edited

Just googled Chevron, and saw the pattern .
So, in the BMW world, is this pattern know as Chevron and not Herringbone?

An update to my friend’s kit:
He opted to go with vinyl and chevron inserts, since he liked that pattern so much (needless to say I advised for leather).
World has that pattern, and he is ordering it. Hope it turns out well.
