    What do you think of these seats?



    Now before you flame me here me out. First off i am not going to be racing my car, it is a daily, and a budget project. Second I have been looking for sport seats e30- e46 for months on the net and local junk yards and can not come up with anyhthing even decent for waht I want to spend. I dont expect them to be perfect, just not trash. So while searching on ebay these came up. I know i need custom rails, that could be done. Has anyone every really seen these seats or sat in them? Thanks,
    Sami

    Here is the ebay link,

    I'd be afraid of them being uncomfortable... most eBay seats that I've sat in are.

        I think they're *really* weird looking, too puffy and the bolsters are all sized funny for daily driving. Not a fan...

          so $250 for those seats that are probably not comfortable and will most likely not last too long. I think you are better off buying something factory BMW and spending a little bit more money.



          I just bought those for $400 and in my opinion they look much nicer and will be more comfortable and last a long while longer. And they're heated. Don't you think for $150 more that you could wait until a deal comes along? You may even be able to find some e30 sports for cheaper.

          Just be patient.

            I guess you are right. It is just so frustrating.

              Stay away from e36 or e46 seats if you're tall... they sit a lot higher than e30 seats.

                    buy high quality seats or go oe. think about what happens to the back of a 3 dollar seat in a collision or rear ender. its suppose to not fold up like a pretzel. i promise you those seats are shit if you open them up. i doubt theres even any standards in seat production in the usa but who knows?
