Default would these fit?

i have a set of BMW M3 front seats that were given to me for free, i was wondering if they would maybe some how be able to be put into my 2002 Z28. the seats are power everything and are really comfortable with better support that my Z28 seats have currently. or do you think i should just wait around and find some trans am seats at a good price?

I'm pretty sure you can take the tracks off your stock seats and put them on other seats. I've heard of people putting theirs on Racing seats.

i just went out and measured the seats in both the camaro and the ones from the bimmer. the ones in the Z are 13.5 inches x 13.5 inches and the bimmer ones are 14.25 inches long by 17 inches wide. i could come up with some sort of adapter plate i am sure to make them fit....but as of now the only problem that i can see is that the hieght of the seat from the seat to a flat surface is about 9 inches on the bimmer and only 5.5-6 on the original seats... do you think this would cause a problem?

If you have power seats in the car now there is a plug under there for the BMW seat but you have to hard wire it. Sparco 2piece seat brakets for a camaro. The bottom bracket bolts to the car and the top piece bolts to the the seat, but you will need the top piece fabed to bolt on the lower piece. I have seen wish done a few times. Way easyer to go this way than custom build the whole bracket.
