Rear Seat options from other cars..

Recommended Posts

Ok, I am working on putting a back seat in so I can get this unit to the upholstery shop

What are some options and are there any good pics floating about?

I've seen the E24 seats installed.

Has anyone used E36 seats? Heavy modification? I saw that rota posted a build using these but there doesn't seem to be insight on the install

I am looking for a clean flat look more for filler than for use.

I've got an E30 convertible rear seat, looks exactly like the E30 M3 rear seat but with a little less width on either side........so it needs some foam filling to get to fit nice. BUT, if you are doing a re-upholstery job, just shape some foam to fill and you are golden. BTW, I have the said rear seat for sale $75 + shipping

I've got an E36 rear seat without the fold down or ski boot features, and to make it fit is gonna require serious modifications. Not just stuffing... Both parts of the e36 seat are a molded piece of foam rubber material, with a steel frame armature thingie molded inside, I tried just shaving the foam away and temporarily stopped when I hit the metal parts. I think I'll need bolt cutters to get rid of some on both sides. It looks do-able with work. Forget the fold down style, no point in it unless you cut the rear bulkhead out (insert sternly worded safety of structure warning and disclaimer here).

Ditto on that. I have yet to see such a clean install. That re-news my faith in the E24 set up

Thanks, took a couple of days but got it done.

I sanded down the edge of the center part of the new fiberboard parcel shelf to match the cut and notch I made on the center console fiberglass and it worked out very nicely.

Unfortunately I did not make a template, I cut big and started sanding down till the countour of the seats was finished. Then I covered the parcel shelf in vinyl and painted the top leather on the console to match.

I also used foam pieces covered in vinyl to fill out the sides and bottom spaces on the sides of the seats by the wall panels, as there is a large gap lef there by the seats.

Cheers

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
