    WTB Manual Sport Seat

    Interested in a manual sport seat, preferably tan leather.

    My understanding is they are a direct bolt in for e23 chassis for a sportier seat than the standard US comfort seats.

    If anyone has a lead please send them my way! Not looking to pay an arm and a limb however willing to pay for a quality seat.

    Also, if I am lead astray by thinking these are a direct fit please let me know below!

    Thanks and happy building!

    You will actually have a difficult time finding reasonably priced E28 sport seats. E28 drivers, such as myself, opt to go with E30 seats and either buy or fabricate a bracket to mount them. For a decent set of sports in leather, look to spend $500 or so. If you want a shot of the bracket I fabed, shoot me a DM, as I dont get to this sub-forum that much.

    Thanks Avec, I have seen this route too and have been keeping my eyes open for e30 seats as an alternative. My only concern is whether they will be swallowed up by the e23 cabin as my understanding is they are narrower than e28/e23 seats.
