I have a feeling I know what the answer is going to be as I offered one up to a bare shell earlier and even that was very tight, but has anyone ever used an e34 sport seat in an e30?

they fit in a completely different way to E30's you'd have to drill them at the front for some bolt holes.

Even then i couldn't say if the holes in the seat would match up on the e30 shell.

They're bloody heavy also if electric or leather or both!

That's not a worry Simon, I have brackets in place for the buckets which would be easy enough to adapt. It's more the girth of the seat that worries me. I know they are heavy, had to pick one of the bastards up yesterday! But they do look epic and are really comfy.

Cheers Rog, but the reason I was asking is a friend is selling some black leather fronts locally. Liked the idea of them being a bit different while still being OEM. Need something to replace the buckets and harness' in my daily drive

That's it sat in place. Just had a few hours swearing actually fitting it, almost done. Then have the drivers side to do

They looks good Ross. Does the door furniture catch the seat?...that looks like a tight fit.

They are very tight, with the seat all the way forward the door bin hits the levers, however unless you were 3 feet tall, you wouldn't need to slide them that far.

Super comfy though and lots of adjustment. Also look like they are meant to be there. Now I just need some rear headrests to complete the look.

For the £100 they cost me, I am very happy

How do you tilt them for 'rear seat action'?

:D
