E85 seats - The story so far.

[mr.tourette]

usually find the e89 m sport seats coming in cheaper than e85

Is it easy and straightforward to fit E89 seats into an E85?

Not as far as I know, its definitely not plug and play and requires some modifications but Its been done

I've not found my m sport seats very comfy and the wife hates them. The standard seats must be bl**dy awful then.

Shame because the E89 seats are about half the price of the E85 MSport ones and are newer too.

Total opposite here, my wife used to get lower back pain after an hour or so in the car, now no issues at all.
I find the support much better than the old non sport seats.

Although I have got more used to them over the few months I have owned the car, it's only a small thing really, considering how enjoyable the car is to own and drive. Everytime I walk past it to my workshop I look at it and think to myself what great looking car it is. It seems to say 'drive me'.
