Sports Seats in E90

kimoboy · 11-11-2015, 06:01 AM

I want to install sports seats in my e90 which has standard seats. Ive been looking online and having hard time, to know which will fit. I am 6.3 and 280.
I also don't want to spend a lot of money on the seats, any ideas.

look for manually adjusted leatherette sport seats. that will be the cheapest option. I found a set on mars but it looks like you are from earth..

Thanks Mars guy

the brand would be bmw. the sport seats were a part of the ZSP or ZMP options on the e90.

I think you are referring to race seats from recaro or sparco

Yes Recaro...etc

Please tell me your cars is modded enough to justify a set of "racing" style seats.

OP, I have the non-sport leather seats and I wanted to get sport seats as well until a few days ago when a buddy of mine bought an E90 with sport seats. I sat in the passenger seat and maybe because it wasn't worn in, the seats were extremely tight and uncomfortable. I'm smaller than you, and I can see them really annoying the daylight out of you.

Although, I did sit in the driver's seat and it was better due to the wear in.

Have you sat in the sport seats before?

Did you adjust the seat?
Sport seats are fully adjustable. There's button to adjust the side bolsters and the front can extend out for leg comfort. I've owned both and sport seats are much better.
