Yes they will fit, M3 seats are the same frame as other sport seats, it's only the stitching that's different.

There is no difference.

ETK only lists different elements for comfort/sport seats, and cloth and leather seats.

The actual gap under the leather is just a big flat space where the elements go - the stitching doesn't go all the way through :thumb:
(well I know that for the cab/m3 ones anyway, but that's what matters here I guess!)

Do it, you'll love it :cool:
