Looking for compatible rear seats

Does anyone know from what other model has compatible rear seats?

The reason for asking is I'm planning on getting sports seats from an e46 with nappa (smooth) leather front seats.

But my 4.8is has the detailed stitching inserts so the backs won't match. Just wondering what is available.

Nono.
You should get imola red.



But really, you know that e46 seats are not direct fit. Right?
I think only bottom cushion is transferable to e53 rail. Not back cushion.

Anyhow, I think e53 was offered in black nappa leather. You may have difficulties finding heated one tho.

@ Mr. Robot. (a) you can edit your posts to amend information or fix spelling mistakes (I do). (b) rear seats for an E53 are compatible with an E53, the only swaps I know are for much older BMW's:

E28 front & rear into E12 (some front seat rail changes)
E24 in the rear of a 2002 (some mods)
E21 front seats in a 2002 (more rail changes needed)
