Seating Question

[632 Regal]

the wiring for heated seats is existing in all E34s (as far as I know) you can get the E30 seats to heat but you might have to cut wired cause I dont think they will plug in. Are you sure you need adapters to bolt them in? This is a rarley asked question about seats and Im curious about it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure adapters are needed, but if not, I haven't lost much. $20 or so. I guess putting E30 sport seats into an E34 isn't common. I just really like the seats and my original seats aren't in too good of condition as far as looks go, nor do I care for how thay sit. Not that they are bad, just blah. I like the thigh support in the sport seats.

The E30 heated seat switch is outboard of the seat/on the center console, in the same design theory as practically every other heated seat car that BMW has made besides the E32/E34.

Personally, I'd just find a set of E34 sport seats. E30 fake recaros get nasty as they age. Sure, they've got tons of lateral support, but there are much better bolt on solutions to be had. Strictly German in Atlanta/Grover, NC commonly sells E34 seats on eBay. I saw a set of sport seats go for less than $300 a month or so ago....a great deal, if you ask me.

I like my 740 comfort seats out of the whole lot, and I've had occasion to sit in all of them. The power lumbar support is nice, as is the arm rest (which won't be found on a fake recaro).
