Will fit with no problems, 4 door seats bases have a slight cutout at the front corners, but hardly any difference.

He wants to swop for a plain 4 door seat!?KLVIPER wrote:Yes mate. I have waiting for long time. The seat came from my friend m3. I don't know why he wan't to swop with my 4 door rear seat.
If he swopping and planning on carrying 3 people in the back, he will have to install the extra lap belt (useless anyway!) as the M3 is a 2+2 seater.

Have you tried fitted an m3 rear seat in your 2 door e30?
I guess, because he is a married man with kids, need more space for rear seater. so I got the benefit of his kids

I fitted a full M3 interior into my old red sport (billgates who replied above is the new owner) much better looking, even the front seats with the horizontal stitching looks better, nit that you need the front seats with them vaders!!KLVIPER wrote:Have you tried fitted an m3 rear seat in your 2 door e30?

Not worn badly! They obviously were'nt mint, but apart from retrims or buying news seats they were in relatively good condition, I remember my missus commenting on you and your comments on the seats at Gaydon too.Demlotcrew wrote:what would you call them?

Yes dude because for what they were advertised for, i expected them to be in much better condition, okay the leather was worn, but the frames were all over the place and i felt them they had tons of play. Im sure Adam has the same concerns as me.

I paid Ԛ£300 for them...not exactly big money? E30 M3 full interiors normally go for Ԛ£600+ esecially heated ones!!Demlotcrew wrote:Yes dude because for what they were advertised for, i expected them to be in much better condition, okay the leather was worn, but the frames were all over the place and i felt them they had tons of play.

ok guys, the seats aren't that bad, the mechs are a little wobbly but certainly nothing to be worried about. have sat in much worse(and considering old mini seats aren't even held down at the back they are very safe in comparison) and there is nothing majorly wrong with the leather. it's a little worn but nothing a little leather moisturiser and rejouvenator will take care of, and considering si only paid 300 notes for them (being heated aswell) then i don't think they are too bad, i'm happy with them, more comfortable and safe/sturdy than many seats that i've sat in.

You see i had to chose my words wisely, as the guy was advertising them for Ԛ£450. I didnt know how much you paid and dare I ask because if it was the asking price then you didnt get a good deal on them. I guess for Ԛ£300 notes its okay. But the rears looked like they had seem some action too, as those are normally really unused. I just think that Ԛ£300 is alot of money, that will replace the timing parts of my M42.

Well I'm not complaining because I sold the old leathers for £400..badly worn with missing piping, non heated, vertical stitching, and crappy plain rear seat without rear arm rest..bargain IMHO!!Demlotcrew wrote:You see i had to chose my words wisely, as the guy was advertising them for £450.
