No, power seats were optional.

I am not sure of all the adjustments on the power seats but the with the manual seats you can adjust the seat up/down, tilt the seat bottom, move front and back, tilt back rest and adjust seat extention. The side bolsters are power. I prefer the manual seats because of the lower position which is still a tad bit too high imo. Couldn't image e having to sit 1-1.5" higher.

Yes, they have all the same adjustments though the electric seats have "finer" adjustment whereas the manual seats have stopping points for some. However when you add up over an inch of lower travel, lighter weigh and the fact that they tilt and slide forward faster when you let people in the back seat often, makes them a winner for me. I do love memory seats in the zhp but the seating position is fine in that car to start with. In the 1M , you sit very high and now that I'm shopping and sitting in power seat 1Ms again, I feel the power seats press my lower thigh and I want to go lower but can't. Again, not a deal breaker but when you do the math, manual seats win for the 1M in my most humble opinion.

And here I thought the only options were the two packages and the stereo. Any other secrets? |

Is it possible to get the Harmon Kardon Stereo and/or Bluetooth without the power seats? I suppose I could live without the upgraded stereo, but bluetooth calling has really become almost as important to me as indoor plumbing.
Case in point- I spent hours finding the right mounting point for a mic in my old E30 for the bluetooth handsfree that came with the stereo I put into it. |

I spoke to the owner before he traded it in. It also had some mild bumper damage and the dealer repainted the bumper. Not sure if also replaced it or just resprayed. Probably not a big deal but when paying collector car prices the new buyer should know in my humble opinion.

Here are pics sent by the owner before repainting. Again, I don't think it's that bad, but when paying these prices it should be disclosed.
