Rizvan, I also have a '92 325i (4dr though) with a squeaky front driver's
seat. The manually adjustable variety. The seats are in great shape, a bit
on the hard side. (which is good since my car has leather and 123k miles on
it now - no major signs of seat wear which is impressive!) Then again I
don't think the previous owner was a heavyweight and at 5'8", 130 lbs
neither am I. My seatback has the tiniest bit of give to it so I'm wondering
if it doesn't just need tightening up? If you find out the cause of this
problem I'd love to hear it. Pre dual-airbag E36's are great cars ('92-'93)
but the interiors are just not of the same quality which is unfortunate. I
won't complain since the car still looks and runs great though. :-) As for
the headlight covers, I believe they require painting to match your car. One
of the BMW catalogs such as Bavarian or BMP should have them.....

John
