Picked up the M3 seats this morning from Jamie_z4 and fitted them this afternoon......wow they are something else. All electric memory heated with air pumped side bolsters and lumber supports. They fit absolutely no probs and are plug and play with the old wiring. Compromises obviously with no shoulder seat belt guide and the seat tilt leaver just catches when the seat is right back but these are minor issues. Will have to put my thinking cap on. Cheers Jamie :thumbsup:

Certainly are :D
They seem to be infinitely adjustable...I'll benefit from the lumber support because I always had lower back pain in the old seats

They certainly look more padded than Z4 Sport seats, although possibly not quite as shaped if that makes sense?

The tilt release is a push-on plastic item AFAIK, so if you pull it off carefully OP there will still be a short metal lever sticking out but it won't interfere as much and hopefully you could find something to cover it with! Or maybe just cut down the plastic cover?

Anyway a quick photo of a Sport seat for comparison:-

Is your car a facelift? Heaerd pre and post facelift wiring looms are different so wonder if this is plug and play for both?
