I have the opportunity to purchase a set of bmw M series front seats. My question is will these fit into the GT without any major issues? Thanks in advance

I won't have the dimensions until we go check them out tomorrow.. but here is a pic
Rusty, I know I tell you this all of the time, but I love the color of your GT!
I am sure they can be made to work. Those are NICE seats! You will have a GTM:)(hope I don't get in trouble for mixing brand names!).
peace, Kyle
Those are a great looking set of seats. I would venture to guess by looking at the picture that the mounts will most likely have to be altered/adapted somehow to make the fit if thay are going to. Keep us posted please.
I'm guessing that they'll be too wide. but I'll happily be proved wrong.
Thanks Carolyn!

They have to be to keep the fat-cat, cigar puffing Beemer owners happy.
We picked them up tonight. Since I am recovering from back surgery and Tom is playing Mr Mom it may be a while before we get a chance to play with them. I am optomistic. I agree we may have to make some modifications, but I think we can come up with something that will work.
I have an '03 BMW 330, pretty sure those seats would fit. They're not wide and not for wide asses. However the side support (for spirited turning) leaves a lot to be desired. M seats have much better side supports, as do the 06 and newer seats.
I bet they'll fit with some rail adapters, and I bet they will be AWESOME.
