E28 seats bolt straight in - they're virtually identical. E34 ones do not - they are E32 7 Series seats.

E28 seats will fit, but you will have to use E30 runers as they are a different width, no big deal at all.
An E30 touring, two E28 M5's and an E28 528i.

Yep, got a set of E28 sport leather in the garage at the moment and I'd say they are identical.
