So having recently upgraded the front brakes to 325mm, March will be bringing a Royals wheel and DLV will be giving the vanos a service :thumbsup:. All straight forward but the reason for the post is the time old question of seats :tumbleweed: I have the SE seats and i havent got the patience to wait an eternity for a set of msport seats to turn up. E46 msport seats look ok but i think they look a little bit too chunky.

So i what do people think about this sort of seat in a zed?

I would need to buy the frame for the runners.

I am interested to know if there are any other seats out there that are a direct replacement for a zed. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

let me know your thoughts peeps and i accept that this wont be everyones cup of tea. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

They look nice, but a bit track-focused with the slots at the top of the backs for a harness!

People have reported Mazda RX8 seats as a good alternative to E46 Sport seats, which certainly do look a bit chunky for a Z4.

Looking forward to seeing what you do go for. :thumbsup:

Cheers Mr T, i have seen the RX8 seats and they look good but they sit low i believe which means the runners have to be modified which i dont have the tools or skills to do :oops: :oops:

I know what you mean about the slots and will take that into consideration if i go that way :thumbsup:

Shame about the RX8 seats, but I wouldn't mind being low - I tend to have BMW seats on the lowest position I can get them so my head isn't up by the roof!

E46 Sport seats definitely look a bit too "arm-chair" - I noticed this today when the buyer drove away in my 325ti Sport!

To be honest if I went for the seats in your link I'd want to put in harnesses too - but that probably gets you into coding issues. :( Although they do look very purposeful.

Looking forward to seeing what others think, and what you decide in the end.

It's just a shame Z4 M-Sport seats are so expensive - they'd be the best option by far!

What about s2000 seats?
I like the s2000 seat but are they a straight bolt in swap?

Am sure he had the seats on for quite a high price certainly not for around my target 500 quid price. :cry:

Wow! £1,500 for M Sport seats, with some wear! I know they're a rare colour but still that really is rediculous! It doesn't stop there £40.00 plus £7.50 delivery for a used clear rear brake light that you can buy new on ebay for about £50. 😂

I know absolutely! You could almost buy a set in black and have it freshly retrimmed in a leather/colour of you choice for that. He can't even claim London pricing, he's up north!😂
