The F36 seats are compatible with the 4 door F3x series, not the 2 door F3x series.

Yes the seats could work, but you would need a modification as the F36 is a 4 door so the seatbelt attachment point is different and the seats do not lean forward for front entry to rear seats.

Best bet is to purchase, have an auto upholstery shop swap the the red leather onto your frame and vice versa.

EDIT: see Post 4 below before attempting this.

Before you go diving into this, even though some BMW use same front seat back support leather in the 2 and 4 door models(F Series M3/M4 for example), I just checked and the F36 are not the same as the F32 leather.

So that would not work.

You could have an upholstery shop see if they could slightly modify, but it’s not a sure thing. It probably involves a slit for the rear entry lever in this case.
