Has anybody managed to properly install E30 M-Tech sport seats in a (E28 based) E24?
I am interested in swapping my comforts for sport seats.
The only adapters I can find are for Recaros, not for M-Tech seats.
I also read some stories about possible height issues (too low/ too high) after changing seats.
Thanks.

I have the Vertical stripe e30 seats in my car. I think those are the Recaro ones.
I have a simple adapter I made with flat bar and a welded bolt. Surely the bolt pattern is the same for all e30 seats?

Don't know if the footprint of the Recaro seats is identical to the M-Techs.
I agree that it cannot be that different as it should be bolted to the same locations on the car body.

There are adapter plates made to adapt E30 based seats into an M28 frame. Look on Mye28 forum and I think I have seen them on Ebay.

you will need an adapter, ...https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vani ... 6476584792
as for E30 sport seats... the horizontal stitch comes from a e30 Convertible and the vertical stitch center is from an 318is or 325is.
