Do any other seats fit an e30? Like e36 seats or anything??

[MooZ]

My front drivers seat frame is snapped at the back and is therefore a MOT failure... so I want to replace my front seats with something nice, I have been looking into e30 sports seats and as I really don't like leather the cloth seats are hard to find in a decent condition and price....

I can however find quite a few e36 seats and such I was wondering if they might fit an e30, just the fronts anyway as I know e30s are simply 4 bolts in and out....

Thanks in advance

or is there anyway I could find the measurements of the seat frames?

A few threads on this. Either make up some brackets, weld them in or drill an extra 2 holes to fit E36 seats.

It's been done before.

seen e46 seats fitted too- according to the chap he said it was pretty easy making up a subframe to fit... at the end of the day its only 4 holes in the floor

Some people like them, some don't, I'm still deciding if I do, I'm discovering a different button/function everyday, even the headrests are electric!

Have you removed them to see how they have been fitted?

Are the rears E46 too?

Are the holes wider or longer? or both?
