E30 M3 Rear seat wanted. Not too fussed about condition as its going to be retrimmed. Headrests would be a bonus.
Thanks in advance

I am sure someone was making replicas, just the foam. That would suit as you are re-trimming. Can't find it at the mo but will put it up if I find it. Just be careful you don't pay genuine money for a replica.

No the convertible rears are much narrower but have the same centre. It is an old trick to stuff a bit of foam either side and pass them off but I think most are wise to that these days

E30 Norway were doing them but they don't have anything available until next year. I'd consider a nice Black leather seat as well with an armrest and rear headrests but nothing seems to be available these days.

Have you tried Marek at AMX performance I think he was doing them too, or he might know who does them now.

Yea i've messaged them they were very expensive. I'd rather deal with someone in the UK as i've got front seats that need retrimming as well. Cheers

Its a long time since I have seen a set for sale and given the price of M3s now I doubt they will get any cheaper or more plentiful.
Looking at mine it is only foam at the sides so if you are getting them trimmed then maybe you could start with a vert rear seat and get the trimmers to shape the outer bolsters out of foam? I think that would be cheapest even if you can find an M3 rear seat.
Took me a while to find a good armrest rear for my other one too but they do seem to crop up now and again.
