Just spotted an old zpost thread (featuring a couple of familiar names!) about the Corbeau RRS. Haven't heard of them before.

Sounds like you are after a "drop in" replacement, but if not, these look worth considering as they can be ordered with heating and in leather for not a lot more than you'd be able to sell a set of ///M seats. They are also ~12kg each.

They’re a nice looking seat Mr PT, plenty of support I’d imagine. What I’m after ideally is adjustable side bolsters like the E89 has. Rare but a few E46 seats seem to have them, but I don’t know if you can get them to work. If not then as long as they’re heated I’m game for much anything with a tight bolster, which is my gripe with the M seats. I can’t believe BMW didn’t put side adjustment on the M seats, penny pinching to the extreme. 1991 onwards MR2’s have manually adjustable bolsters for example.
I ended up trying about 2 dozen seats at Demon Tweeks before settling on Pole Position ABE.
Not cheap compared to some - although cheap compared to Recaro Sportster CS (or BMW Performance seats) - but they were the only ones that supported me everywhere and weren't too loose or too tight.
A par of these will be fitted next weekend..

Ah ok great, E46 it is. I don’t rate the M seats as they don’t have tight enough side bolsters. Plus the foam is disintegrating on mine so time for a swap.
Cheers for your help, much appreciated.
no problem any time!
The adjustable bolsters on the e46 m seats are great and plug and play in the z4 too...
Ahh if you part with your M seats then I might take em off you
