Sport Seats

[EnvyM3]

No offense intended Dough, but I'm curious why you want to swap out for the sport seats? Seems like a lot of $ that could be better spent on another mod. I mean, your sedan is no racecar so where is the need for the sportseats?

Anything has to be better than these damn stock seats we get.. They are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever had in a car that I own.. I want the sports seats just so they'll 'hug' me more, and i don't slide all over the place (Just cause it's not an M, doesn't mean we don't inflict some G's as well!)

I'm on the same search, but pretty sure I am going aftermarket.. That, and I have manual seats, which makes finding sports seats even harder.. (Not even going to THINK about running wiring harnesses and crap..)

Just a thought. How about going to the junkyards? There are so many 3 series, you might be able to get one from a totalled car.

just go with a dedicated race seat...

Ha, I knew someone was going to ask that.... that's why I put in parenthesis that it was from the passanger's side....

Also, in my g/f's turbo Beetle, sport seats hug my body so well... It does make a difference, and as Section_8 mentioned, just because I don't have a 3.2L under the hood, doesn't mean my 192hp engine can't take a sharp turn, I just want my ass to be able to sit in one spot. And no offense taken . Oh and yes, I KNOW that the sale above is ALOT of money. That's why I am NOT going to buy THOSE seats. I wanna spend alot less than that... ie, less than half of thier asking.

Well, these seats from Ebay are from a wreaked 3-series. I wouldn't mind doing that, only thing is, I don't know of any place around me like that.... with that large assortment of vehicles.

I don't want to go down that route. I want a seat that looks like it belongs in the car. Not some aftermarket looking thing that a ::cough: ricer would buy. No offense to anyone... just my honest opinion.

[Storamin]

so a race seat is something that a ricer would buy? you realize they will hold you MUCH better than any BMW seat ever will...

yea, but they don't look like they belong in my car and they are on the extream side. I don't want that.

[celsdogg]

yeah, u should only get race seats if you are going for that whole racer (ricer?) look.

Dough, i was just trying to find some junkyards in your area, there is one that is a bit large in rahway. i look in google maps and try to see where the a large yard of junked cars is. you can call them and ask if they have any of a particular car.

anyway, i went to maps.google.com and put in: auto junk yard, bedminster, nj

hope that helps

[doughboyea]

^ Cool, thanks I'll look into them.

[Storamin]

i would be very surprised if there weren't quite a few junkyards located near you. there are some that will even ship for a good price.

[celsdogg]

id wanna take a look at them myself tho that way i can test em out too
