Spotted what appears to be a Sports interior on eBay, anyone able to advise what the guy's actually selling?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=001

Reason for asking is that I don't particularly like the standard front seats in my E90 320D SE. If I could obtain a set of front sport seats I'd hang onto the car for a bit longer!

Also I'd be quite keen to swap the "standard" steering wheel for an M Sport item (realise I'd need the airbag as well). Any experience as to what the stealers might charge to fit if I sourced the items off the net (probably eBay).

Thank, Jon

PS - my current interior is Dakota grey leather.

Hi Jon,

Unfortunately my German doesn't fully extend to this type, however please look at the translation below which is a google translation. (Tried doing a link, but they won't let you.) Not all words can be literally translated.

I don't want to sound like a sour puss, but please be VERY careful about buying from Germany. Many UK ebay sellers will not sell or 'ship' items to Germany. For some reason there appears to be some really dodgy dealers over there. I'm not saying this guy is, but please be careful that's all.

Helen.

I've bought several things mail order from Germany including some fitted luggage, an expensive music server and a remote control with no problems. I should think there are just as many scam artists in the UK as anywhere else

[gIzzE]

Be a bit careful when buying inteiors for LHD countries, the sensor pads for telling when someone is in the seat will be on the wrong side, and the door cars are differnent too, look at the grab handles on the left and right doors.

Also the switchgear for windows etc. is different so you will have to buy these again, not expensive but worth factoring in.

Jon, looks like that guy has quite a bit of stuff. Least he replied as well. Good luck.

Steve, these are specifically ebay transactions from Germany and I have lost count of the number of sellers/buyers in the UK who have had big problems with ebay items from/to Germany, hence many UK ebay sellers will not allow German buyers to bid. Ebay have also issued warnings about dealing with Germany. Probably the usual case of a few spoiling it for the many.
