    WTB: E30 M3 seats

    Looking for a set of black E30 M3 seats. I'm located in CT, and am willing to travel/ship if need be. Pm me with whatever you have. Even if the front seats aren't in the best condition, I might be willing to buy parts. They must be M3 seats though, so substitutions!

    Thanks.
    Zinno E30 M3.

      Late model e30 vert seats are exactly the same as M3 seats except they have recline limiters .

      May open up more options for you and the limiters can be modified/bypassed .

      E30 M3 / E30 325is / E34 525iT / E34 535i

        late model cab seats are the exact same thing, with a plastic tab on the side to limit recline. pop the cover off, and drill it out with a 1/2 bit and pry the plastic out with a flat blade. Its really not that big of a deal.

            To be fair, thereisnoyun described the recline limit removal procedure that you left out, Mr. Teaguer.

              ^^^ You're in Westport??? We'll have to arrange a local meet, I'm in Fairfield....

              Either way, I'd like to stick with finding true M3 seats in black. I'd like to keep M3 parts in my M3....

                            i have 2 seats, but they are tan and both passenger seats.....might be worth your time if youre planning on reupholstering anyways. pm me if interested. just looking for enough to pay for the brackets to put my recaro sr (reps) in my car.
