Check the classifieds subforum, and maybe put a post there. FYI, E32 seats are identical (EDIT: or not). Also FYI, the padding and upholstery are identical between sides, so if you find a good passenger seat, you can put its padding and leather (and heater pads, if present) onto a driver's seat frame.

are you certain E32/34 are same ? I remember hearing the E32 seats were a bit wider
Cross checking PNs for the covers and cushions indicates them to be E34 specific as well.

Actually that was an assumption, from having spent a lot of time sitting in E34s and E32s. I don't know for certain. (I do know for certain that upholstery swaps between sides; I pulled heated leather pads from power seats and put them on a cloth unheated manual frames; fit like a glove).

From my recent experience:
1. Yes, they swap left-right no problem as I just did this to my seats.
2. On leather - it is stamped E32 for what it's worth..

I have both e34 comforts and e32 seats. I’ll compare the 2 and report back for anyone inquiring about this in the future. Having driven in both I does seem like the e32 seat is a bit wider but I’m not sure. E34 sports in my e32 seem to actually be closer to the center con width wise than the original seats did

Also, keep in mind, frames can be different (just like L and R differ from each other). But leather/cushions seem to be the same

Measurements- e32 bottom width 21.5 e34 bottom width 21.5 ————— e32 back “upper” 22 width e34 back 21
i measured from what looks to be the wisest point on both bottom and upper. We also have to remember that leather can shrink so it is very possible to have a variation in almost every seat

You're like 4 years too late - I posted my parchment fronts, mint condition, and no one wanted them. They're in a landfill in NJ by now :(
