Is it possible to fit BMW buckets in a VS Commodore?

Question

Based on BMW E36 regular buckets and rear bench, will they fit straight onto the seat mounts of a VS Commodore? Or will they need modification? And if so, is it difficult?

Answer 1

The Rear bench seat shouldn't be difficult to mount at all.. Because all you'll need to do is drill the appropriate holes in the mounts, so they match the BMW one. The front seats, however, will be a bit more difficult. I'd recommend taking the rails and everything out of the BMW, and mounting the whole thing in the commodore. This way you could again, drill holes to match (rather than try to match the rails the chair slides on). Keep in mind not to drill in the wrong spot, you might damage something on the other side... and make sure you fill up the unused holes or mistake holes with silicone or such, otherwise they may start leaking.

Another important note is that the seats do have an impact on the car being roadworthy or not, so contact your mechanic. If a driver's seat doesn't stay attached to the car, it's not very safe now is it?

Answer 2

They will need some modification as they are two different car makes (GM vs BMW), however it should be really cheap and very easy to do. Nice pick...BMWs are awesome cars.
