Default Recaro Pole or Recaro CS? Which one to go with?

I know its a bit off topic but sorry for that
Recaro Pole or Recaro CS? Which one to go with?
I want to mount a seat in my 850CSI and have been looking at those two.
Which one would you go with and why?
I really like the look of the Pole, but some say it does not fit visually in the e31.
The CS is also nice, but not as sporty.

CS is nice because it reclines, and certainly not as "tight" of a fit.

poles have no business in a 850csi

reclining seats are the ticket.

I have the sportster CS in my Mini and love them. They are super comfy and look good. They retain the side airbags and recline.

I'm 6'1", 36" waist. (Some fixed back seats I find are too tight for road use).

I think the recall was on a batch made in a certain time period?

I think the CS would look better in your 850 (great car btw)
Also, if no track use, i think you'll find the PP annoying to get in and out from (I daily drive some Recaro Profi in my 964 and I regret them sometimes - then I go to the track and love them again. lol)

Pole Positions were recalled for track use for a certain set, I called Recaro and mine for instance were not in the recall. Great seat very comfortable.
