BMW M3/M4 Bucket Seat Questions/ Recommendations

So, im puting bucket seats and a schroth 6 point harness in my F80 and the 2 seats iv tried to fit wont fit.. The shoulders of the seat hit the door pillar and the side of the seat hits the transmission tunnel. The 2 seats iv tried are the Sparco EVO 2 US and Regular. I have a 6 point cage in the car but that isnt an issue with the seats fitting. I was wondering if anyone else had put buckets in their F8X and knew what kind of seats they have put in there. Iv seen recaro pole positions and cs seats but im looking more into sparco and MOMO. We have test fitted the sparco qrt-r and it fits on the passenger side but we didnt test the driver's side because we were just getting measurements for the cage with a seat. We are planning to get sparco QRT-R or the QRT Circuit seat but not sure if it will fit. Anyone have measurements for the interior? Or just seat recommendations?
Thanks!

Most likely not with MOMO.

Will need to know height and waist size to know what to recommend. Most people do not fit in Pole Positions (since moved to NG/SL), it's not very large.

We have a selection of Recaro and Sparco seats in our showroom, drop by and see which fits you best.

Way too tall for Pole Position.

Recaro Profi, Sparco QRT/QRT-R would be recommended.
