In addition to the 500E, I think they may have been in the Sportline models as well, but I'm not positive...

They were available on 300E Sportline models. Pretty rare find though!

non-Sport (Recaro) individual back seats for the W124 are readily available in the 300CE Coupe, E320 Coupe, 300CE Cab, E320 Cab.

The Recaro (sport) version (available on Sportline: 300E, 300CE, E320's, 500e's) have extra bit of side and butt bolstering and additional fancy stiching/ leather cut pattern.

It may be find the coupe individual seating in the boneyards, then order new sportline pads and leather to restore the seating....

hope this helps

Are the fronts bolstered better as well? I'd like more front seat support as I slide around when cornering hard. But I want to keep stock-looking seats. I don't really care about rear seat passengers..

Front Sport seats are more bolstered- yes

The Sportline/ 500e seats are by no means like the BMW Recaro's or even the aftermarket racing/ sport Recaro's....but they are a somewhat perf improvement vs. luxo MB OEM (in terms of keeping you more in place).

...you may not need the sport seats with this method:
>lock in 3pt seat belt as normal
>move the seat towards the wheel about 2 in (automatic or manual slide)

notice the seat belt tightens and should keep you in place a bit better- - this technique is also useful in track fun as well.

hope this helps
