But you, on a Porsche board, can give the definitive answer?

I guess this was the point I was trying to make. This also applies to e28 seats.

Just so you know, I'm not just pulling this out of my ass. These are the Euro sport seats in my e28 M5 and e30 323i respectively. Neither one has any Recaro parts.
You said they had no affiliation to Recaro. They do. They were designed and engineered by Recaro.

If you take apart your pictured seats (e28 and/or e30) you will see BMW part numbers and Keiper supplier tags on some of the same parts.

BMW DID, in fact, offer Recaros (REAL Recaros) as a factory option in ROW e30 fitments. This in addition to the Recaro-Designed Sport Seats. I have the brochure excerpt if you care. They weren't available in US cars, but some gray-market cars here in the US do have them.

Just hate the perpectuated misinformation. I know no one cares, but just setting it straight
