Could you fit M3 Seats to the F30?
Anyone thought about it? Attempted it? People spend thousands on upgrading their cars in various ways and tbh I wouldn't mind spending as much as 3k on new M3 seats for my f30, even if it's just the fronts.
Get parts department to source seats, but not sure about fitments. I hate the seats on the E9x & F30 |

I had a similar thought! I can't imagine they've changed the runners especially for the M3, so would hope it's possible! I'm sure someone in the US will try it!

Surely that idea is bad as putting an M badge on your car when its not an M car?
If you can get the M3 seats without it being labelled as that then fair enough. Otherwise, it would seem tacky!

Would there be coding issue?

If the E90 M3 was anything to go by its doable but you'll be looking at around £3k per seat!

You could always wait for some poor bugger to stick one through a hedge and get the full interior for less than 6k me thinks.
As long as your not to fussy about colour. |

Surely it will fit yes. If it's worth the hassle is another matter? I thought they were excellent seats but the standard sports seats are very good too. Would this be £6k for smoother leather (that will wear easier) M lights on the backrest and more shoulder support? Might look a bit odd front vs back or were you looking at replacing all? Nice project if you go for it but cost might be steep.
