Standard seats get pretty much given away, I sold a pristine set for about 150 (memory heated no marks)
But your half leather, at a guess, non heated manual sport seats 3-400?
Have a sit in an SE seat before you swap is my advice. They don't hug at all in spirited driving

I agree with this, you might be better off storing these and purchasing some standard sport seats. Come resale t8me not having M Sport seats will be a kick in the nuts.

As above they are very cheap to pick up. I have msport seats and my pal has se seats and I definitely feel I sit lower down. He is 6.4 and loads of head room

If a swap is still of interest following the advice, I have a set of really nice condition Se seats out of the car and available tight now. I fitted some e46 m sport seats as a replacement but would ideally like some z4 seats. I am in basingstoke and would be more than happy for you to try/ see both. Maybe the e46 seats could be a good option as they are a little bigger and comfier in my opinion. We could work out a swap for either. Just let me know if interested.

Not sure these come up all that often, so I'd hold onto them if I were you! Also yours look heated so maybe able to stretch a bit more than the £400 if you were to sell up?

Must be a garage selling a pre-facelift roadster somewhere near you? Just don't go have a look in the Zed! :lol: The cabin size will be the same as your facelift, just the seats will be different... I'm not all that sure you'll gain any of the space you're after though?

I think the op might mean too big width ways, not length

I would be interested in a swap and could travel to you, pending that you had tried and were happy with the SE seats. :thumbsup:

I notice, your seats are manual, I have manual seats as well, it would make the process a simple bolt in.

Also, are these more desirable being half leather in a chilly soft top? seems all full leather in other cars!

I would be interested in a deal with some cash to you. As said in earlier post, this could be for either my se seats or e46 m sport ones. You would be welcome to try both. Let me know if of interest. Cheers

Sell them, buy some E46 M3 Seats. The regular seats are awful!
