Does anyone know where Im likely to find someone who has these ? Am I pi$$ing in the wind trying to find a set of seats ? Have you tried the wreckers Martyn? I'd imagine there are a fair number of crashed E39s around which you could take your pick from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Well I only know one wreckers in Wellington and on the occasions I checked with them they havent had any BMW, so I guess me question is....is there anywhere in Auckland that might have something ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They havent been used much and have an awful lot of padding in them. The base is actually convex rather than concave and as Im 6'5 and my wife is 6' too, even with them at their lowest setting, we both hit the roof with our heads. The comfort seats we had in the 7 sat much lower and were much more comfortable for us as we could fold the back of the seat up to contact with our shoulders (there is a hinge half way up the seat) which the standard seats dont have. I dont mind dying seats if necessary, but I need to know if comfort seats are any better before selling the car for something else. Id love some psorts seats but the comfort seats would be great. Ill take some photos of mine tomorrow. Edited March 6, 2008 by Penry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
