Why would you want to do such a thing they will look well out of place in an e30, I have seen e36 seats in an e30 but never e46

I fitted e46 saloon front seats to my touier, all i did was make the holes bigger in the runners and a plate for each side to bolt it to the car for one of the holes and they fitted and workrd fine a little close to the centre console when fully forward but fine.

Yep I have fitted them. I made up some mounting brackets and they fit beautifully. Very comfy also.
