there is a single rail in the middle that does not unbolt from the frame like a regular recaro. anything is possable, but is it worth it?
the seat bottoms on those are nowhere near as comfortable that a regular recaro eitherseien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

You could pay $5000 for these

How about one of the newest OEM Recaro seats?
These bad boys, if they fit would be amazing in an E30. I know, they probably wouldn't very easily.
That's right the new 1 Series "Performance" seats seen in the tii concept.
Now, I must say you'd have to be a baller, and stupid to justify the near $5000.00 price tag. That's no typo. They are sexy though. Turner can order them for you:

Hi guys, some pics of my E30 Recaros for your viewing pleasure
I bought these 3 years ago from a spec'd up 325i 4 door hence the lack of tilt levers
They were starting to wear in places when I got them but I just bolted them in my 4 door and lived with it
You can see the lower bolsters were squashed and the material was also wearing through in places
When I broke the 4 door I stripped them down with the intention of rebuilding them like new, not an easy task as I found out 99% of these parts are BMW E30 specific and no longer available :(
Common problem with these is the upper bolster bars breaking off
This is how the drivers looked, the pass seat had both bars broke and others ive stripped have also had broken bars
Left too long and the foam will literally disintegrate due to the increased movement, the broken bar ends will also eventually start to poke through the foam and then the material
This is my drivers seat all finished
Here is how the pass seat base looked before
And after some serious foam reshaping/supporting
Took a long time and a lot of work, I had the material sections replaced on some of the worn bolsters, used material from seats from a scrap yard so they wouldn't look too much out of place.
In my hunt for E30 Recaro parts I did manage to find a brand new covering, it was hiding away in the corner of a local dealerships parts store, had been ordered in 2000 and never collected
But like I said earlier, these are NLA from BMW, same as the material so I couldnt really use this next to worn fabric
Here is a material sample card from an upholsterers in the US, I cant remember what the company is called, one of the UK E30 owners used them to supply material for his Recaros
These are great seats and are getting very rare, spare parts are virtually non-existent, Capital Seating are the UK's Recaro distributors and trimmers but even they cannot supply E30 Recaro parts/foam.
