Those RX8 seats look really good in the Zed. IMO much nicer that the E46 seats, which to me just look too chunky.

Good luck with that! From what I have seen, if they are under £1000, they are rarely worth having!

+1 . E46 are a bit to square and 'chunky'. M seats rule them all really ..... :headbang:

The red quilted section doesn't look right to me, maybe its because its all one piece instead of segmented ?

S2000 seats are another option. Need to make up your own mounts though.

I have no idea how to do that, i would need to buy a pre-made fitting kit to achieve that.

Looks like it's either dig deep or make do.

Hi Jamie
Are the e46 seats a straight swap ? And do they alter the sitting position? As I’m keen on swapping, thanks

Well after much deliberation, I went for the red and black M sport seats, Thanks to Poster for link. I wasnt sure bout the red quilted section but got seats minus the shipping cost so happy enough. Thought I'd end up spending 400 ish at least by time fitted and made up mounts etc for rx8 or s2000 seats, and these are as BMW intended, although pricey! Pics when fitted....

I agree - looks a bit gentleman's club wingback chair. Not a fan.
However, I'll probably have a tidy pair of manual, heated black Msports for sale shortly. Let me know if you're intereseted.
