Vaders are the nickname for the sporty E36 M3 front seats. They look like this ![http://megatron.jonuts.com/images/for_sale/vaders_front.JPG](http://megatron.jonuts.com/images/for_sale/vaders_front.JPG) Vs. The standard “luxury” interior front seats like the car in the ad has. ![http://images.autotrader.com/images/2006/8/31/207/649/903851099.207649326.IM1.05.565x421_A.562x421.jpg](http://images.autotrader.com/images/2006/8/31/207/649/903851099.207649326.IM1.05.565x421_A.562x421.jpg) ---

only thing I don’t like about the vaders is they’re too wide. I’m 5’10" 165 lbs. I don’t need a seat wide enough for someone 280 lbs. it’s a fucking sports car for gawd sakes although if i ever get the e36 wagon I’ve been scouting for the past 5 years, it will get black leather vadars (its as nice as e36 gets) i love the e30 seats, and even better are the e21 recaros. mmmm e21 recaros… ---

I believe most of the 4drs came with the lux package, vaders were kind of rare in the sedan. They still aren’t bad seats, I really like my luxury package non-vader seats. It’s slightly over priced, but not by a ton. 5sp sedans hold their value pretty well because there were a fair amount of automatics built too which no one wants now.
