Opsky on the .co.uk site has swapped seats with those from an F33 - and they look great:

do you think F33 seats same hook up as F83 seats ???

[Fatandre]

Any idea how much lighter they are?

No, you could try contacting Opsky, the best I have is what is in the body of the post:

Benefits:

• New seats have a longer travel range and are quite slimmer, so you can now reposition the seat forward and make more space for the rear passenger. Profit!
• Vice versa works as well -> you can go further back... and a front passenger can, literally, stretch his legs while travelling. Very comfortable.
• They can go lower, so probably a good fix for someone who is quite tall out there. (I am not, so it never was a problem for me but still)
• You have adjustable lumbar support in those
• F33 seats weight less than E31 ones
• My personal opinion, obviously, but they also do look cooler

I just purchased a '91 e31 and I need ALL those benefits with a f33 seat swap! Definitely going to try to source some seats!

Dang those seats are sexy. Not totally sure the style isn't too modern to fit the E31 style but I bet theyre niiiiiice to drive in...

Can a set from a RHD be put into a LHD? Memory seat buttons?
