122 seats 120-130

What seats will fit in a 220 Estate? How about 164 seats? I would really like to replace what I have now, with something that is a bit more period correct.

Thanks,

    I've seen a set of early model 240 leather seats in the front of a 220, looked nice. From a 75 I think . The only thing was they were longer front to back and you couldn't fold down the rear seat back all the way. Think Craig aka 122canadian on here has put a set of BMW seats in either his 122 or 242, they looked real nice.

    Let us know what you end up with.

    I guess you mean the rear seat. I have stayed with the original so can't comment on that.

    Front seats are easy. 164 seats fit if you do something to adapt the different width of the seat base. Easy way is to fit rails that run side to side and bolt to both the seat and the existing rails. I customised some spare 122 seat mounts to make it look a bit more standard because in New Zealand the inspectors are fussy about seat modifications. Seat mods need to be certified by an engineer to make sure they are safe. By making it look standard I avoided the need to certify. 164 seats are a bit bulkier. I am 6'2" tall so usually have the drivers seat right back. If I want to fold the back seat, I need to slide the drivers seat forward a few inches.

      Thanks!

      I have the correct rear seat, the fronts are the one for which I am looking. I had a pretty fair set of 164s, but I gave them to a friend. I will have to keep my eye out for a set...

        What color do you want? I can probably bring them. They will be fairly snug in the 122
        since they are wider.

        I have a pair of e30 BMW seats up front. Not the good sport ones, just base vinyl. Plenty comfy.

        Had to make some brackets for them. They work fine, but are a little close and a little higher. Certainly manageable.

        YMMV

        Good luck.
