the front seats on a convertible are a different height to the ones on a coupe because the sill is different. You would need to swap the seat subframe over (or just accept the driving position change)

rears don't fit shapes are different at the top the convertible is much thinner at the top so you might have a horrid gap on the sides that is if you got them in in the first place

Front seats are the same, only difference AFAIK is that convertible front seats don't recline as much as 2 door ones but you can alter that.

Rears wont fit without modification.

They'll fit.

It can be done if you don't have funds for an M3 rear bench. :D

I know it would look better if the door cards were retrimmed do you couldn't see the hood flaps, but still a good and DIFFERENT IDEA.
