    LIghtweight seats for E63 M6

    Hello: I am trying to put my E63 M6 V10 on a diet. I just did a rod bearing change, header install, cat delete, ECU reprogramming, etc, and want to lose some weight. I don't need adjusting heating massaging seats. I remember many years ago my electric 325iS seats were W-A-Y heavier than the manual M3 Vader seats I got. What lighter manual seats will fit an E63? Will manual Vader seats fit a E63?? ANYBODY?

    Do you have to retain backseat access?

    How much you willing to spend? FYI, most of the aftermarket folders will weigh less than OEM stuff. Check out Sparco, Recaro, etc. Some are decent for ~$500. Just don't expect anything under $1000 to last 10 years of normal use.

    Don't want to spend over $500/seat, no cheapos. I was thinking of good used manual seats from previous BMW models. Will not mind complete reupholstering. Back seat access YES.
