found a 635csi in local scrappy with decent m tec seats in the only discrepancy with the mounting brackets is they are 20mm wider apart than in the e30 but same mounting centres along the length, can the subframes be swapped?

Given the rarity of E24 sports seats you're probably better off selling them & buying a pair of E30 seats.

I know E30 seats can be made to fit a 6-series but I don't know if it works the other way round as the 6 seats are wider.

I'd stay away from electric seats if I were you. I live in fear of mine packing up. Motors are over Ԛ£100 each from the dealer & I don't think they're available anywhere else.

I've never seen a Six with worn rear seats . . . In fact they all look as if they've never been sat in!
