    E46 or newer seats ?

    Hi,

    My 89 635csi needs front seats, mainly driver but I'd like both to be matching.

    I haven't been able to find a good clean set of factory seats, so I am starting to look at newer factory seats .

    Has anyone here installed for example e46 coupe seats ?

    Thanks

    There are more e46 seats out there vs e36, so I've been wondering about those.

    Came across this on facebook and it reminded me of this thread. The owner confirmed they’re e46 seats. Never mentioned how he bolted it in the e24 but I’m guessing he used adapters. I’ve seen e12, e21, e30, e36s etc but This is the only e46 seats I’ve seen fitted to date

    Yep, probably adapters but that's easy to do.

    I installed E46 sport seats into my 1979 E24 a few years ago. Basically bolted the E46 seat frames directly to the E24 floorpan.

    Interesting. Were there any other mods required to get them to fit? Do they sit higher than the stock seats? I’ve heard stories about fitting the e46 steering wheel to later e24s but never imagined anything being a direct fit.
