You're sure they're not E28?

I bought them off eBay originally advertised as E30 M3 seats but have since been told M3 are all bucket seats, so I can't say for sure! I had them fitted fine in a four door E30 that's all I can go off so far.

They are from a four door E30. Looking at the 'distressed' state of them , I am guessing they have been poorly stored and / or a retrim.

theyre certainly not M3 leathers. anyone selling them as that is a bellend of the highest order.

the rounded corners on the base mean theyve come out of a 4 door to start with.

these are m3 rear seats

I want^^^

I'd be inclined to say E28, with the pin badges, but then they are available on eBay for pennies. Definitely from a 4 door though

Cheers for the info fellas, the condition wasn't the question Pete not everyone's budget can stretch to immaculate examples first time round, granted they have been well used and are due a retrim.
Thanks for the pic Harry much appreciated!

A good clean and nice application of Gliptone would see those looking rather well again i suspect.
