Ive been looking at other BMW leather seats for my E30 and wanted to know which ones fit with no fuss? (front ones)
Ive seen a few E36 seats in E30s and these are availble now and again but ive also seen E46 nd E90 coupe seats coming up rather cheap nowadays and wondered if these would fit ?

You will either need to fabricate new brackets or drill new holes into the floor pan as the holes do not line up.

After seeing Recaro Classic Cs, I've been wondering if they could be made to fit.
I've never been stirred by seats before but with the Classic Cs... ding dong!

Anything can be made to fit if you have the resources and more importantly, the cash

I fitted my non-sport cloth E46 front seats on my E30. I had to fabricate 3 adaptors per side to match the chassis holes with the seat rail. It's a bit of a tight fit though especially on the inner side but I really like the outcome.
