My E34 driver seat is toast and needs to be replaced. I'd like to think Sparco Torinos would be good for this application but then again a newer stock leather w/ heat and memory is kinda nice too. Any Suggestions...

i just picked up a set of m5 seats, e34 style and i like em a lot
pics should be on page 2 or 3?

at first i wanted to go aftermarket, but for the price i paid i
couldn't be happier...

mounting the seats will be tough though...

can i suggest this seat?

I thought long and hard about buying new seats, I couldn't justify downgrading to a non-leather, non-heated, non-powered seat. Plus, the E34 is still a classy car, racing seats don't look right in it, imo.

Personally, I would go for the 540 sport/M5 seats, like bahnstormer did.

I'd go with m5 seats like the other guys said. I sat in bahnstormer's seats, and I really liked the feel of them.

if you want something nice and leather and what not id get vaders or e34 m5 seats. if you can find the recaro's offered in the special m models that would be sic to convert to m cloth. good luck findin them though. if you have alot of money and want something racey but adjustable, bride has a seat that will blow the cobra misano away. i was in a similar dilema and have decided to rebuild my seats, that way i can have them doen with the amount of foam i want, i can add heat to them and change the material if i please. maybe alcantara.
