Actually, just to correct what I said above, you can get away with mixing some of the seat upper and lower 'generations', at least those adjacent to each other in the series. They aren't identical but will work in a daily-driver situation, assuming the driver isn't overly picky.

For example, I realized only this year (after sitting on it for more than five years) that the top and bottom of the seat I pulled out of my old '83 240d was actually from two different generations, but with a perfect colour match.
