Brand new, realoem.com lists the cloth sports seats (which I am just guessing those are) as $300+ each.

thanks, but i am not sure they are oem. the part number on them is bm 102 (03) which is clearly not a mini/bmw number. i was told they were oem when i gott them (i think here on the site). a google search brought me to thinking maybe cal-trend

That's a Cal Trend part number. The options they offer are standard or sport seats, with or without lumbar ****, with or without side airbags (the bolsters have velcro openings to accommodate them), and they're specific for model year. They have a half dozen colors in the velour. If they have the airbag fittings they're available for about $175 a pair shipped.

Looks like they're in good shape; maybe the straps have been repaired with a little Gorilla Glue.

spaceblue thank you for the info. I believe they are standard and i think i have sport seats for my '03 r50 as the seatback center of the covers was always away from the actual seat back, in other words the side bolsters stretched it so tight they never conformed to the actual seats so i think i should just list them for someone who can use them. they are in great shape, barely used, aside from the gorilla glue at the straps on one seat bottom. no clue what i should put them on the marketplace for....
