I understand that, I was wondering what the OEM E30 Recaro's model is, as I need a new bolster for it.

Once again.. it is a recaro ls. You can find the exact same seat in alfa milano verdes, they were available in about 90 cars even some ferrari's. You can use foam from mk2 vw recaros if you like. They are pre trimmed for a non extendable leg rest but it wont make a difference on your base.

Also the foam from capitol seating is slightly different but the foam compresses and because of that when you put the bolster cover on should be the same if not close enough that you shouldnt really notice.

Recaro = brand

SRD, LX/LS serie, Speed, Sportline etc = models of seats

And here's the ad:

Not True Lee...

I didn't say it was not rue, but just that I never heard of...

I have never heard of a Recaro-optionned e30. The reason for which BMW started its own sport seats was to get rid of paying big $ to Recaro for their seats. It doesn't mean the Recaro weren't available from aftermarket, but most likely not from BMW. They were available for e12s, e21s, e24s, and e28s. Not the e30.

Not True Lee, I have the option page and I'm sure someone else does as well. Been posted here numerous times. I have about 7 of these seats right now.

they are a recaro LS "idealseat" made by recaro for bmw... i dont know what the confusion is.

[M-technik-3]

OEM but supplied as Recaro brand name basically an optioned up seat. Much nice in my opinion.

LX? These are OEM Recaros.

[a2coupe2a]

Actually, they might be LX as they have the bigger side bolsters. These L seats came with about 3 different upper side bolsters, and 3 different bases, including non-extending leg support.

...those are ls's. LX's have pointy upper bolsters.. they actually look similar to the e30 sport seat.

you found yourself some Recaro LS seats...nice find.

No. Those are e30 sport seats.
