Hey, not really locost related, but was wondering if anyone had an idea how much it wud be to get my 318is re upholstered in leather?? Cause i hav absolutely no idea
If its too expensive i can get one from a breakers for £550.
As u can see by the time of this post, i stayed in for new years

You can bet it will be just over the price quoted for parts from breakers. £550 sounds a lot for s/h interior. Remember if you get yours done they will need to match door cards etc. If you go s/h route you can get some of the cost back flogging your cloth interior.

when i looked a couple years ago, the proce of a single hide was about 150 quid. you would likely need several for a car and it would run to many 100's of pounds.

leather doesnt come on convenient rolls - its animal shaped! - so you need more hide than you expect
