E46 M3 seats fitted

Post by Leesfarm07 » Sat Jun 17, 2017 7:11 pm

Picked up the M3 seats this morning from Jamie_z4 and fitted them this afternoon......wow they are something else. All electric memory heated with air pumped side bolsters and lumber supports. They fit absolutely no probs and are plug and play with the old wiring. Compromises obviously with no shoulder seat belt guide and the seat tilt leaver just catches when the seat is right back but these are minor issues. Will have to put my thinking cap on. Cheers Jamie :thumbsup:

Certainly are :D
They seem to be infinitely adjustable...I'll benefit from the lumber support because I always had lower back pain in the old seats
