Would E500 seats fit in an E55?

I want to buy a 2004 E55 but find the seats too snug. Does anyone know if I could swap them out for seats from an E500? Also, would the colors match? The E55 I want has the charcoal interior.

Sure, I don't see any reason why not. I believe the only differences in the cars is outside of the cabin. But if the E500 has dynamic seats and the E55 didn't, I'm not so sure if that functionality will carry over.

How about you buy an E55 and we trade seats?

Yep I have a charcoal interior E500 here on the East Coast, I'd swap also, depending on condition. Guess you have to pick your coast...

don't forget that the E500 doesn't have nappa leather and the E55 does, so your front seats leather would not match the rest of the car.

I didn't realize the two cars had different leather. That would look a bit strange if it didn't match. What if I swapped front and rear seats?

Well it's good to know I have plenty of people interested in swapping out seats. I'm going to have another look at the car this weekend.

I'm out unless you buy the wagon!

Good luck, looks like you have a lot of takers.
