I found a manual, M-Sport seat from an E46 at a local salvage place. I wanted one because I didn't like the lack of any side bolstering on my stock seats. That said I was worried about it potentially sitting higher. I can confirm that what I read was true, the manual E46 seat is the same at the lowest setting of an E85 power seat. I do really wish it was lower. Otherwise I'm very happy with it. It bolted right up, plugged in, no airbag light, and the seat heaters still work. The only issue was the seat belt mount. The stock seat has a mount on the frame rails. So I just bolted the seat belt in the same spot on the new seat, it's just not at the same exact angle. That said, I can't imagine that could make any difference given the tiny amount it's off would be way less than the difference between a smaller person and a bigger person.
