M6 or m340i seats in 08 e93

adrian_j · 11-12-2021, 03:58 AM

A local euro parts seller has m6 seats and m240i seats, my car doesn’t have the sport seats and I miss them so much I was wondering if it’s possible to put either of these in my car, id be willing to do whatever it takes.

Thanks hope somebody has some advice

I think both cars are around 2012, I can find out

The main thing to consider is the seat belt mounts. It's likely that seats from a coupe won't have the bottom of the seat belt mounted to the seat (to improve access to the rear seats) which leaves you with nowhere to mount your seat belt as saloons and touring don't have the mounting on the chassis that coupes do.

If you find a seat with the correct seat belt mounts, most other issues are easier to overcome such as adaptor plates for the mounting points (in case the rails are different widths) and wiring for the electrics.

Either way, it's not going to be plug and play, there will always be some work required to make them fit and work correctly.
