    e34 front seat options

    Has anyone here swapped out the front seats? I have the comfort style seats now and would like to know if a set of sport seats will fit? If not whats a good alternative?

    If you have swapped them out, post some pics!

    thanks fellas

          E30 sport seats are too narrow. They would look goofy. Sport seats from a 540/M5 would work though...plug and play...but get your wallet.

                  Try some E46 sports out of a 4 door. might have to build some adapters but that is pretty easy.

                      E32 7 seats are visually almost identical, but much more comfortable and programmable, so probably heavier. I'm also interested in other alternatives for my e34 as the seats are just not quite*right imo
                      ...what hasn’t been done to an m20 yet?

                        I have 7 sezats in my car. I swapped my harness over from my stock seats to the new ones so they work great.

                        now I gotta pull them out and fix the seat twist.. again :(

                          So...can someone go into detail about how E32 seats differ from E34 seats? They look identical to the naked eye...but NONE of the parts cross reference.
