1) Obviously the brackets dont fit, you will need to have something fabricated
2) It takes 5minutes to remove either seat in your car...why don't you find out?
3) Why?
4) No.

Why not just look for OEM leather seats to begin with rather than trying to fit a BMW seat into your Z? Obviously its not going to fit. You have to pay to play........

Take the old seats out.
Put the new seats in.
If you can bolt the rails through the floor you are good to go.

I have been looking for oem seats but ive seen them go for a lot. Out of my budget. I found a nice set of 335i seats for a very cheap price. Also, i think the 335i seats are better then the oem seats anyways.

i think having a BMW interior in any car would rock.. Good luck with finding out if the seats work!!!

Personally... I know you will need some custom fab stuff.. the floorboards are totally different in the BMW and the Datsun/Nissan... So Good luck with that aspect of it...

Tip*
Make sure you get the heights and distances as close to the stock seat ratio as possible in order to still maintain some safety in the Z.. You want to also make sure that you tap into maybe the ciggarette lighter or something incase you are using the electric seats. if that fuse blows, try tapping into something that matches the seats voltage and resistance without blowing a fuse or jacking up the seat motor. Another thing... The Z comes equipped with like a little factory Passenger Air Bag Sensor which I belive is built into the seat... I guess you would have to bypass that as well in order to not get a Light out warning.

Good luck with your project.

Personally... If you wanted a BMW's Performance, Quality and Craftsmanship... You should have just bought a BMW...

Anyway.. Good Luck!
