    WTT: Black Leather E36 Sport front seats for Black E30 Sport seats

    As the title states. Previous owner of my '84 installed E36 Sport front seats and I am looking to switch back to stock E30 Sport Seats.

    Here's a picture, I'll try to get some more detailed ones today --



    They are manual with the thigh adjustment just like E30 Sports. Driver's side is in good shape with one small cut in the bottom cushion, passenger's side is near mint. These are 2 door seats and fold forward for rear seat access.

    I am looking to trade for E30 Sport seats in either Black Vinyl or Leather in comparable condition.

    Must be within a couple hour's drive of Rochester, NY or willing to travel! My car is driven daily and I'm sure I'd get pulled over pretty quick driving around on milk crates.

    Let me know if you're interested. Thanks! :)

    How are these mounted?

    Do the seats line up properly with the stock mounting points...are they offset, etc?

      It appears that the previous owner made some sort of adapter plate. From what I can tell the plate goes over the factory mounting studs and is secured with nuts, and the E36 seat is mounted to that. The seats are very well centered. The only spot that is tight are the seat belt recepticles, or at least the one on the drivers side - it presses into the ebrake boot a bit.

      I'll try to snap some pics of what I mean when I get the other shots today.

      Kinda OT but I'll driving down to Wilmington, NC in probably late July or early August so if you're interested I'm sure we could work something out.

        Here are some pics (sorry about the brightness, it was actually sunny in WNY yesterday). They could definitely use some leather conditioner, which I may even try to get on this weekend. Other than the small cut in the driver's seat there are no "major" flaws" though.
