    E36 seats!

    Are they direct fit into an e30? Would the seats from an E36 M3 work on my car with out any modifications?

    What other seats are direct fit in an e30...i hate my comfert seats.

          Bought a set of the adapters and installed a manual E36 vader seat in my E30 a few months ago. I'm 6'8" and the swap did gain me a decent amount of legroom (almost too much as it made it harder to reach the steering wheel) but I also lost a good bit of headroom which was unacceptable. I went back to my busted up E30 sport seat and have been much happier.

            Are the comfrot seats suppose to throw you around when you take hard corners or my suspensions are to soft?

            also i didn't find the sport seats that comfertable in my old E30s. Always gave me back pain.

              they throw you around because there is nothing to hold you in place, look at sport seats, they have side bolsters to keep you in place.

                Your old sport seats were probably really worn out. Mine are in EXCELLENT shape and feel fantastic even on long drives.

                  i put the seats from an e36/7 mz3 in my cabrio. more fore and aft adjustment and in the lowest position, more head room. even hooked up the power adjustment. had to make custom mounting brackets to pull it off. lots of trouble, but well worth it in my opinion.
