they are wider than E30 seats and have trouble fitting in a coupe, so a cab with wider sill will be even harder. the seats cannot be adusted with the door closed, plus you need to fabricate adaptors for the bases.

personally go for something else.

been there done that they will go in but they sit to high on standard e36 runners also as already mentioned the inner sills on the cab means u have very little space and u can't make the seat runners go back and forwards without cutting up it carpet

In the I sold my e36 front leathers on got proper cabby leather off a zoner and have recently fitted a new carpet to

what i thought about was seats from the E31, they have the seatbelts built into the seat and electric, and that would be quite cool in a cab, but i dont know if they fit plus i doubt many in the scrappies!

I fitted a pair from an X reg (E36?) cab into a D reg e30 2 door.

Had to raise the runners to get them to fit but some 1 inch box iron and a bit of fiddling with spanners soon solved that.

They sat a touch higher than the old seats but other than that they were ok. And at £30+ a trip to blackpool (oooh the lights) I couldn't really complain for what was a very nice set of seats. The fact that they were working electric seats too was a very nice bonus. :)
