Yeah, my sport seats are busted and ugly so I am researching options. I am a big guy and no diet in the world will change that.

I say go for it. A friend of mine just put e36 seats in and they fit fine (albeit with new brackets), and seem/feel more solid over all.1988 Atlantisblau Euro/Japanese 325i Cabriolet

Wound up not going this way.
I found some RSX Type S seats for $40. The width of the rails are nearly identical at 16.5" compared to the 16.25" of the e30.
I'll just cut off the Acura mounting feet, weld on some 1.5" square tubing feet, drill holes and move on with life. :)Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Although the E30 seats hold me in slightly better, the E36 ones are more comfortable, more robust (but ~20 lbs heavier each) and allow for more adjustment options. They also look far more modern.Si vis pacem, para bellum.

I did the RSX-S seats and they work great...but I have a new car and will be getting rid of those seats since the car is a different color.
I really appreciate the pictures of the brackets you made. Awesome work.Si vis pacem, para bellum.
