It's still a great seat, just not Recaro.

The e30 Sport seats were designed and engineered by Keiper-Recaro and Keiper-Recaro supplied components that BMW assembled into finished seats. They do not say 'Recaro' on the seat, but if you take them apart you will see Keiper supplied some of the guts and pieces. It's a technicality, at best.
'Real' Recaros were also an option on e30s in some European countries. They were basically the LS seat with BMW specific upholstery, base, and hardware.
All this crap has been debated ad-nauseum on the e30 boards.
In the end, the e30 sport seats cannot be called 'Recaros' and no Recaro replacement parts will fit.
