Ok asking to confirm fitment here. I found a set of E24 seats from a seller I trust (purchased a transmission from him). These are listed as 6 series e24 recaro seats. Look comfortable, I would need to reupholster in red for my coupe. Will these bolt in easily? I imagine I would be removing the side rails and then just placing these in place of the E9 seats. Input welcome

Those e24 seats will still require adapters to fit the e9.

Dave sells them:

Aardvarc offers custom-made adapters to fit any vintage Recaro (or other sport seat) with a 16-inch wide seat pan into a BMW E9 with stock sliding mechanisms. They're fabricated from cold-rolled steel that's been punched to simplify the installation, then powder coated. Comes with bolts, washers and

Perfect. I figured that I would need those adapters from Aardvarc but sounds like I can avoid the potential issues of cutting/welding or modifying seat bottoms that the E30 seats (which are much more readily available) would require. I may pull the trigger on these seats then - I sat in Don's and they are quite nice. I was considering refurbishing my stock seats but for the price...

i think you are going to find that those seats are going to sit a bit high in the coupe. on the e24, those seats bolt to the floor, not the raised seat perches our seats fit too. these are similar to the e28 + e30 sport seats

Got it. Will keep looking.

What are the seat options for the coupe if you leave the seat risers in? Period recarro and scheel or are there newer options that are easily retrofitted?
