Hi guys,

i've finally finished installing the bmw e36 m3 3.2l powered leather sport seats into my e30 325i 4dr..

there were plenty problems/snags.. aswell as the common problem of the seat gearboxes busting a very hard to find plastic gear for the seat reclining bit. that i had to overcome..

i can however now say with confidence that i know these seats INSIDE OUT!! how to fix em.. and mostly how to successfully build them into the e30...

please note, these seats are substantially larger in size than standard e36 seats!! they are the closest you'll ever get to 5series seats in a e30..

but tricky to install due to EXTREMELY tight clearance space.. but it works 100's!!!

anyone who is interested in this conversion or even anyone who wants to know where to find those damned reclining gears to repair theirs can email me at anton@compunique.co.za!! i'd love to make someone(a fellow e30 driver)'s life a little easier and save the missery that ive just been through..

best regards
