Guys,

Another Newbie Question! I've picked up a bargain E36 i'm chopping up which currently has leather seats in it.

Will these saloon seats direct fit into an e30 touring?

If there's chopping/welding involved i really can't be bothered!

Thanks :)

the base brackets need modification/fabrication. not difficult.

the E36 seats are quite wide but only a problem in the cabs with their thicker sills.

and of course the rears will not fit thus you will have mismatched front/rear seats.

Don't you just have to drill different holes in the runners?
