E30 Zone

was curious has anyone managed to fit a set of electric e46 cab seats into an e30, if so can poeple post some pics of the finished article and what there opinions on the whole thing are.

Its been done but looks shit in my opinion. To new for an E30.

This is the new must have council mod . Why ?

Mass Respect Innit

and the weight of these motorised armchairs is?

i understand most people on here are purists and like to keep there cars as close to stock as possible, well from what ive been reading anyway. was just curious as to what they looked like and how hard it was to fit them

They are much bigger than an E30 seat, so they look crap , they are a ballache to fit and they are very heavy .

just think the e30 sports seat look better

Just wrong!

No..........

wow very strong opinions, nice to know though. ok heres a question and forgive me if i sound like a complete numpty, but apart from the sport seats that you can get in a cabby, what other seats would go in, or what other seats did bmw make that would go in to one.

the reason i ask is because i wanted something a bit different as thats how i like to mod my cars but not make them look cheap and tack though. so if anyone has any suggestions, like Dr frasier Crane would say "i'm listening" or reading for that matter.

Any excuse to put my seats up

If you want to be different then this is the interior for you. If you can find a set and afford to re cover them

Put them awat Dezzy, you seat whore..............................

Any chance to get them out

Not a fan of the e46 convertible seats, wouldnt e46 m3 seats be a better option if you didnt want the e30 seats?

What seats are they Dezzy? Highbacks?

not everybody has the money to roll like me, you and barry. Some people dislike e30 seats and feel the need to fit crap

Ha ha ha you have alot to learn grasshopper, E30's of course

They look sooo different Dezzy ! - Upgrade for the doorcards next?

I've always thought modern seats in an older car looks rubbish. But if you want something different...

How about Scheel seats.

Try find some blitz.

Not only that, they reay only suit earlier 70's stuff like E21/E3/E9/E12 etc not an 80's E30/E28/E24.

E30 Highback recaro fronts and E30 M3 rears. Only the best will doodledo

cheers dezzy, i appreciate that, now anyone on the zone wanna sell me a set, how much should i be looking to pay for a set of these.

This is the ultimate E30 seat. Recaro Classic C. Commonly fitted to AMG Mercs, and Alpina's.

I think they have adjustable bolsters, lumber everything.

Pure filfth

Would love a pair of highbacks
