...what it's like to sit in the back seats, but at least there is headrests now. Bought them from a member on here, and did the install tonight. Was a lot easier than it seems and I was quite nervous about cutting into my nice back seats. Really nice addition to the interior; just need a e32 rear console now. iPhone pictures, so quality is meh.

Looks nice! I installed them in my M3 a long time ago. Of course, nobody sits in the back of an M3- ha ha.

It does hamper visibility some, but I still like the looks- more finished IMO.

Oh- and you should sit back there sometime. You'd be surprised how comfortable they are. I've done it a couple of times in my 7. My wife "chauffeured" me around once, then I "chauffeured" her. Funny- we're crazy that way though.

I thought the idea was to 'ride' in the back seat with the wife, no?

I can get you the e32 console. One has a hinge broken on the side and the other is the previous version of the armrest that has the spring on it that will need to be modified.
I can also get you rear map lights and rear cig lighter.
Let me know and I can bring them to ATL next week when I go for work.

Doesn't reduce visibility in the E34. I have a roof spoiler, the headrests and it's fine. I have and they are comfortable. Must be nice for the passengers, hahaha.

Snicker... yeah, well we've been married a while... so...



Cool on the visibility. It does hamper a bit in my M3.

I thought about doing the same thing in my E34 but decided not to since I already have them in my E90 and they block the window some.

The rear headrests do not block visibility at all.

If you're short I could see them being a problem.

These are from an M5 correct? If anyone has a set in black for sale let me know:D

Looks great btw.

Likely e32 rear headrests. Virtually no parchment m5s existed. Rightfully so.

Those are from an E32. You don't see much black ones around as much as you see the parchment.
