I thought it was pretty cool to see original Crevier stamped service book and receipts from Vasek Polak.\r\n\r\nThe Recaros can be polarizing to people but I love the period pattern. I thought about putting some plain seats back in for this sale and keeping them but with the rear fabric that was ordered at the same time as the front seats, I believe these seats should stay with the car. \r\n\r\nJust want to add that I took a quick drive around the block to exercise it and there is not a single rattle or squeak while driving\u00a0\u2013\u00a0a testament to how well BMW built these and the care that this particular 2002 has received over the decades!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1661708691, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9394988, "authorName": "obriencox", "authorUrl":
