Will E46 seats fit into the Z4?

Hey guys, just dropped the Z off for service again this morning and this time I was given a nice 328xi Coupe with Sport Package. Out of 6 E9x loaners, I can honestly say this is the first time I've been impressed. Still prefer my Z, but I actually don't hate this car at all. However, this is the first time I've had a chance to experience the sport package seats and I can't believe how great these are. Amazingly comfortable, and yet perfectly supportive. If I could, I'd rip these out and put them in my Z today. So the unfortunate thing now is that the thought of getting back into my standard Z seats which are comfy, but offer zero lateral support is killing me. I love my Z, but there are a few things I'd like to improve, and seats have officially become priority #1. I was browsing around at some options, and was wondering if anyone knew if the Sport seats from the E46 3 Series would be a simple bolt in replacement in our cars? I did some quick searching and it seems like most people are going with race seats. I'm sure they are awesome, but I'd prefer to stick with something a little less focused if possible. So does anyone know if they fit? Or am I stuck with only aftermarket race seats as an option?

Thanks
 
That was Plan A. But after several months of searching with no luck, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to widen my options. E46 seats are definitely more common. Still going to be limited since I'm looking for Dream Red, but at least I have a shot at finding some if these fit.
 
The E46 sport seats are a bit bigger the the Zs, I prefer the Zs as they are a tighter fit and feel more sporty, but thats my opinion. Not to sure if they will fit the Z, you might have some trouble with the seat belts etc.
