A Question About Pre 1997 And Post 1997 E36 Seats!

[Delmarco]

Apparantly my installer is telling me that the manual seats I got from a 1998 E36 sedan cannot be install in a pre 1997 E36 sedan-which is my car. He also said he didn't remember why.

Did BMW change something in the seats in the E36 in the year 1997. I can understand electric powered seats being wired differently as the years changed but simple manual powered seats should be the same for all years of the E36.

Am I right?

these are the seats below...

From those pics they look like a tan version of my seat. I've never taken mine out so I don't know how the brackets and such work, but those are identical as far as levers and everything else go.


Btw that avatar is way too cute, I think I spent more time watching it play through than reading your post.
