I may be coming into the possession of an old e30 4 door, which has leather seats, i was gonna rip em out and slam them in my 2 door..i know the door panels wouldn't fit, but would the front and rear seats go straight in or are there different fittings etc? any light shed on this would be appreciated.
cheers

It should all fit but if the front seat's don't tilt you might struggle to get passengers in and out.

The four door seats have the tilting mechanism in them. It's just the cables and handles that are missing, so with a bit of effort, and bits from your old seats, you can convert them.
