hi i have a 92 325 and the front seats are in awful shape, they're torn up real bad and i wanna buy these.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33701&item=2452352817

will they fit?

since they are not the vader seats they must be from a 4 door
and do not have the tilt feature (im guessing). and i have a 4 door so thats all good. they are not power and im told they will fit.

will i have to adjust the seatbelt connector or is it the same for all bmw?

also i have a tan seats right now and since i am not changing the rear seats is there ne way to color my back seats grey or vice versa ?

I'm pretty much in the same jam as you. I've a '92 325i with tan leather interrior. After 12 years the drivers seat has gotten pretty cracked, although there are luckily no tears in any of the leather inside the car. I was thinking about buying some new front seats, but the back seats are in good condition so it would be hard to match them. I'm pretty sure those seats you linked to will fit. if its possible as the guy to give you the track width. as long as the width is the same it shouldnt be too much of a problem if you have to relocate a hole or two.

as for me, I've decided to get some lexol leather cleaner, conditioner and use it on the seats regularly. it has definitly made them look a lot nicer, and I do know that you can stain leather too to get the original colour back, but I'm not sure i'm ready for that.

the passengers seat is pretty cracked but huge rips on the drivers seat bolsters. i can see the foam inside. so they have to go. sum1 told me that i can get them reupholstered but that costs labor and money for materials (leather)

might as well buy some new ones and get the sport seats. and later i can prolly find some grey back seats in a junkyard or elsewhere dirt cheap bc m3 guys are removin there seats for weight purposes.

the seats will fit in your car just fine. any of the e36 generation seats will fit in any e36 car. I have a 1997 m-technic, and I removed my original power black leather seats and replaced the whole interior with black vader interior. Looks really really nice. Maybe for the right prce I would let my old interior go. I have the two front and the rear seats. They are close to mint condition. I just wanted the look of the vader's plus they are less weight because the vader's are manual not power like my factory seats.

no, the back seat won't fit........but I have access to a complete 4door m3 interior if you want that. I will have to find out a price though, and I don't know the color yet.

I was just thinking. Are you back seats fold downs at all? cuz if they are then the 2dr interior might fit. If you don't have fold downs thean the interior will not fit.

I found out that I can get a set of the 4dr black M3 interior. The seats are manual, and have the M color stripes, but they are not the vaders they are the 4dr seats, but they still look good. Let me know as soon as possible if anyone is interested.
