Have found a nice leather interior from a 4 door 89 325i but just wondering if it'll fit in my 2-door?

they will fit but won't tilt forwards unless you retrofit the inside mechanisms

i have heard that with the 4dr front seats, tilted and slid completely forward people can get in the back

Rear seat bases will fit but are a different shape on the corners also

Or does the leather easily come off onto a 2 door seat? If so I have a front set trying to get rid!

Four door front seats fit fine, but you need to retrofit the tilt mechanism to allow them to fold forward, you get this mechanism from ANY 2 door seat and it's quite easy to fit.

Rears as mentioned are a different shape but will fit.
