These seats are only for the 1- and 3-series.
As I understand it - they will not fit/work in the E60.

My seats will take place in my M3 E92.

As was said earlier these seats are made by Recaro for BMW,
The Recaro version can be fitted into the E60 using the correct recaro subframe.
I enquired a while back but could not justify the price.

Congrats. Those things look great. I want them on my car bad but I can't justify the price considering that driver's seat will show more wear then the passenger and alcantara is not known to last long if you sit on it. Very baller mod though!
