[asubimmer]

doesn't look like it...but I may be wrong

[wastedincome]

I can see the pic now. I think them are VW seats.

[e30Matt]

Definitely not an E30 seat belt receptacle. I'd go with it being a VW seat, but I thought those had mesh headrests.

[CleanAzzE30z]

Didnt E21's have similar seats in the "s" model? But in leather/vinyl.

[eurostyl e30]

It's not VW. It could be a Recaro aftermarket sport seat.

[T3rd Ferguson]

that may be out of an old Saab 900/turbo

are these the famous e30 recaros?

[john318isau]

The "famous" Recaro seats that were an option on some E30's are similar to BMW sports seats but they have bigger side bolsters. Like the BMW sports seats they have adjustable thigh support and use a ratchet lever to adjust backrest angle rather than a rotating knob like in your picture. The ones in the later M3s are different again.

Luis, those are Recaro SRD's, that came in the Sport Evo M3's.

Axl, those look slightly different than the E30 Recaros. They look wider and less heavily bolstered. They aren't E21's either.

Here are the E30 ones:

[King Luis]

Luis, those are Recaro SRD's, that came in the Sport Evo M3's.
