Racing seat install possibilities?
Does anyone know how difficult it might be to install aftermarket seats into an E53? Why? Just curious. I need to either recover my current seats, get some Wet Okole seat covers, or install aftermarket seats (if possible).

Thanks for any advice

I am pretty sure E46 seats bolt right in, so theoretically you could use E46 brackets. The wiring would be similar to E46's and E39's.

E46 sport seats make a nice upgrade.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
E46 Sedan seats would be ideal, you can also swap some of the lower trims over as well
