Re: Rear Headrests Query

I attempted to remove my rear seats. i got the bottom bench out fine, and the arm rest was no problem. can you tell me how you got the backs of the seats off please? may have been obvious i only did it as a test run.

Also how easy was it to fit the brackets.

Bear in mind that in many people's eyes, you will be devaluing/defacing your Sport if you dump the M20 engine. If you don't intend ever selling the car it won't be an issue, but if you're the sort of person who changes their car regularly you'll have a more restricted market if the car doesn't have...

Installing Rear Head rests

How difficult/expensive would it be to install rear headrests.

Also was rear headrests a possible option on a 1989 325i sport. i want to keep it original, so if they werent available then i dont want them.

Re: what head unit would look best in an e30

I think you made the right decision, i think the 9 buttons complement the e30 dash the most. Plus the red glow lighting is inkeeping with the instrument lighting.

Good buy in my opinion
