E30 M3 Seat Guide
In these pages, you'll find what I have been able to gather about the fitment of aftermarket seats in the e30 m3. If you have any data to add, please email it to me at the address at the bottom of this page. Please include:
- The seat make/model
- The brackets, sliders, and/or height adjustable sliders and what make/model (or custom) was used
- The distance beteen the seat cushion (lowest part, probably next to seat back), and the sunroof liner
- Any pictures you want posted here
- Any other comments about the setup
Thanks!
