Hi,
Will the M3 Recaro seats fit my 325i Sport or will it require fitting some other seat rails? If so which seat rails do I need to fit and where can I find them?
Just need to find a pair of these seats now or are there rare as hens teeth?

Hens teeth and you'll need deep pockets.

I'd go back to the drawing board and think of something else, nailing Katy Perry would be easier and achievable.

I sure I remember a zoner on here say he sold some for around £5000 probably worth more than your car?

It would be more cost effective buying these used and fitting BMW specific runners and retrimming rather than spending 5k!!
This recaro seat is readily available in many cars, I nearly bought a set for my e36 but opted not to. Can't recall which recaro model they are? Possibly speed? I might be wrong.

I'm in two minds at the momment as my original seats are immaculate and if I went for these then I will loose the originality of the car...
But If I did fit them I could always go back to the originals
These replicas on eBay are available

And these EK9 seats look similar

For any retrim work in the midlands I would use 'bespoke leather' there work that I have seen is near on flawless although they are not cheap but well worth doing it properly.

Shameless plug, but I have a pair of Recaro Speeds for sale on Recaro E30 sliders for £550. Althought thinking of putting the price up if those Honda seats in not perefect condition and no frames are worth £630....

You can by new recaro's speeds in leather got about 1k. Getting mstripes would be easy but I found the recaro's seat adaptors, about £140 sit the seat to high, and the adaptors from massive brakes.com are far better
