Has anybody tackled the seat swap on a 6GC? I just grabbed a pair of Z4 leather seats and I want to try and fit them in this weekend. I wanted to know if anybody could give a little input? I haven't even pulled the stock seats out of my car yet to see how they will fit lol but I am hoping to get them in without any fabrication (brackets etc.). Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You're joking, right? I don't think BMW used a seat frame from a Celica. You're going to need to weld them to the stock sliders....thats if they even fit.

and after you get the seat into the car, you'll have to wire up the seat adjustment motors...

maybe you shouldve researched BEFORE you bought the seats.

my 7th gen seats were considerably off, had to weld exstentions etc. it will be a decent project for something as compleatly diff as bmw seats. on top of that, make sure to make them as low as posible there is already a limited amount of headroom higher seats only make it worse.
