    Are the seat supports on the floor vinyl wrapped? I have seen it once or twice, and they were on my 308.

    No, the floor and seat rail supports were painted satin black. The seat rail covers on each outer seat rail were covered with the same material as used for the seats so for example if a car had black vinyl interior then the seat rail covers would be finished in matching black vinyl, if the seats were tan leather then the seat rails covers would be finished in tan leather etc.

    Hmmmm, I don't have a seat rail cover, nor have I seen one. Do you have a picture of what that looks like?

    Ahh, thanks.
    I actually found your Photobucket account with one of these pictures. Makes sense, I was wondering what the holes were in my floor next to the seat rail.

    Now to source them...

    I've never seen these items for sale. They are fairly simple to fabricate though as they are just thin sheet metal cut to shape with three folds on each cover. My bodyshop made them for one of my cars using a set from one of my other cars as a template. The trim material is just glued over them with no foam padding below. omgjon or swift53 may well be able to help you with these.

    I forgot to say that the seat rail covers were introduced on the E series cars.

    Glad to learn I don't have to go out and source these for my M since I had never heard of them before.
