    First e34. Couple of questions.

    First, what seats bolt in? I have leather comfort seats up front. I'd like to replace them in the future but don't know what will and won't fit.

    Also - what are the "go-to" tail lights for these? I'd like to get rid of the amber - either with all red or smoked - and MAYBE red and clear.

    ^Also curious as to what seats bolt up. I'll ask on Bimmerforms and report back.

      Only seats that bolt in directly are E32, but you can find sport seats from an M5.

      Not much for tail lights other than eBay. I red-ed and smoked mine myself with VHT nightshades.

          Get floor plates from VAC with sliders and put after market seats in.

            Yeah the e34 seat mounts are a little weird, you either have sport seats or custom mounting options (including VAC stuff mentioned above, a bit pricey though IMO).

            I think smoked lights look good on some colors, my m5 has smoked lights made by Hella, which are becoming pretty hard to find. They have a different look that normal smoked lights because of the clear/grey center lights.

            I sprayed these red with Testors candy apple and then cleared over them a few times. They looked awesome in person

            I titnted these with over reduced black base coat, and then cleared over them a lot. I wouldn't recommend VHT. Actual clear coat is sooo much nicer

                Abraham Motorsports also has some tail lights among some other e34 stuff. I opted for the clears. Not the best photo, but you get the idea.
