E46 M3 front leather seats

[DazG]

Hello!

Recently bought an E46 3 Series coupe with alcantara interior.

I really fancy getting myself some black leather front seats.

I spotted these on pistonheads:

What do you think?

I'm assuming there a straight forward swap

They look different to my mates M3 seats.. I think!?

Would it not be difficult to link up the electric/heated part of them? Or has your car already got it?

They do look a bit different. My old mans old M3 (E46 Cabrio) had the M badge embossed in the headrests i believe. Also the leather looks a bit shiny. Im pretty sure any M3 I've been in had more of a matte finish to them

My seats are electric but not heated.

Should be an easy swap I reckon.

Daz being honest, the more I look at them, the more I'm convinced they look different. Also why would he change the leather for red ones?! Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
