The front rail bolts will bolt up. However the two bolt holes in the rear will need a custom bracket as they are about 2 inches further away toward the rear of the car. In addition to that, the E90 seat has a auto shut down feature. So once the seats are wired, the controls will cease to work after 15 minutes or until the ignition is switched off and back on. If you want the controls to work always, you will need to supply a 5v or TTL signal the the data bus input wires for rx. This will keep it alive.
Sorry no pics of the mounting brackets for rear. They are just straight brackets to extend the holes 2 inches back.

So how does the seat line up when the front two holes are sort of bolted in like that? Like centerline of the seat to the wheel, arm room, etc?
Looks like all the seat kits including the Lown version shift the seats outboard so I'm wondering if that's because they're off-centre when installing into an e30.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

My seats are currently shifted outward. If I remember correctly (with my E92 seats), I put down a laser and lined up the bolt on the steering column and center of the seats as best I could.
The E9x and F32 seats I have the same mounting, but I never checked again with the laser. Let me try to get that information later tonight.
Massive Lee makes brackets as well.
