I believe nay on the basis the seats are much bigger and don't fit between trans tunnel and sill.

Had thought about it myself as i like the individual arm rests.

Well, put it like this... in Total BMW this month there's a pair of E28's in there. One of them is rocking E30 leather Sports seats, so I assume that it's a reversible option!

IIRC they can be made to fit, someone on here fitted the 'Whole' E34 interior into his E30, including the rear seats.

I wouldn't take that as a dead cert tho! Small will fit into big but not necessarily the other way round! :D

E34 seats WILL fit into the E30, a former zoner has them in his E30 atm.

Don't think the "comfort" option seats will fit, but the sports seats are very similar, if not identical.
Might have to modify the mounts though.
