Hi Guys, after some advice please...

I'm looking for a beige leather interior for my 90 325i Sport. I've seen a few Convertible inteiors advertised as well as M3 interiors. They look pretty similar to me (both bucket-type rear seats), so am I right in thinking that they M3 and Convertible interiors are more or less cross compatible, but that both rear seats would be slightly too narrow for my coupe?

Thanks in advance!

M3 seat fit straight in but the back is a little higher than normal rear seats.

Apparantly convertable rear seats can be made to fit, they are to narrow but it has been done although i haven't seen any pics of it. Ment to look good!

Thanks mate. I'll probably hold out for proper Sports seats as I'm after a pretty original look with the car, but I'll consider M3's if a nice set presents itself!

I remember seeing convertable rears in a coupe. I think it's the back that doesn't quite fit properly?
