My Ride: 2006 520d SE 163bhp, Saloon, Grey, no factory fit extras, no mods. (yet...).
Default

I have a 520d SE with standard seats.

They are the only part of the car I don't like as they seem very unsupportive.

Does anyone know where I could look to get hold of a set of sports seats.

i have started looking at late E60 salvage sites.

Thanks,


Tim

Having never replaced mine, but it does sound like the most cost effective solution...

Not quite sure it will stand up to the 5-star safety rating... but, it does look quite cost effective.
