F30 Sport seats
It's getting hard to find decent condition sport seats for our cars. The few drivers side seats I've seen with intact airbags generally are pretty worn. I know I should have held out for a Sport Package car. (And I never should have test driven one!)
At any rate I'm looking at options to upgrade the seat or seats, and I was wondering if it's feasible to install Sport seats from an F30 3-series. Any thoughts? Has anyone here actually successfully installed them? |

I'd think it to be feasible, you may have to do some wiring work to make them work, but it's possible. The biggest if would be the mounting points, but I can't imagine BMW changed that much...

I managed to find a serviceable set of powered sport seats from a 2008 128i. Driver side bottom cushion was torn and crushed. Passenger side occupancy sensor was disconnected, so probably bad. I found a nice pax side bottom cushion, installed it in the pax side, and put the old pax side cushion in the drivers side. I'm on vacation in a couple weeks, and will attempt the install. I found a thread on E90Post, and will be using that for a reference. Wish me luck! I will definitely report on the process.

I saw another thread on here that said the F-series seats were a direct fit - I will try to look for it later. I think you would need to make sure you get them from a 2 door donor car though. If you get them from a sedan, I don't think they would have the handle at the top of the seat to lean it forward so you can get in the back.

E9x M3 seats fit right in. I have a decent set for sale but I'm not shipping. They have that novillo leather so with the right products you can restore good as new.
