E30 4 door vs 2 door rear seats
« on: October 12, 2009, 12:51:19 PM »
I need new rear seats for my 4 door e30, I know the bottom halfs are different between the 4 and 2 door, but what about the upper half? Thanks

They both fit...seat back is identical and you can also use the bench but it has square corners that intrude a bit into the door entry/exit.  I have a black leather sport coupe interior in my base model sedan.  It's so much nicer than the tan pleather!

The cabrio back seat is slightly different.

I was never sure about that...is it compatible with the sedan?  Or is it narrower?  I really want that armrest...

The rear armrest is in the sedan rear seat from 325iX's.
