Which other BMW seats will fit into the E30 ?

I am having alot of trouble sourcing replacement seats around here, as the E30's around here seem to last forever and dont end up in the scrap yard !!!

Can i use the seats(front) out of an E36, E28 or E34 ?

Having to change base frames wont be a problem for me.

E36 seats can be fitted with modifications to the mounts, and I've been told that E46 seats also fit somewhat easier.
Both are slightly to wide, but just about fit.
E34 stuff is too wide, and I would imagine E28 stuff is as well.

Has anyone tried Z3 fronts?

Always wondered if they'd go in, as they seem narrower than regular E36/46.
