Condition doesn't matter as they will be re-trimmed in new leather, however can't be rusty or have damaged foam.

Thanks Carl. I thought the ones you had were for a sedan? The convertible ones are slightly smaller I think?

Front and rear headrests in the cabriolet are the same.

That’s what I thought but seems like everyone is saying the rears are a bit smaller?

If you check on Realoem I think you will find the part numbers are the same front/rear on a cab comfort/sport seats, unless you have Recaro LS/LX where the headrest is indeed bigger than the standard BMW ones in the rear.

Exactly. Part numbers are same. Yet folks who contest that have shown me photos showing how the sizes are different. Small but noticeable.

Personally I think the size discrepancy is due to exposure to the elements and shrinkage over time.
