The seats are meant to help in the event of a rollover.

That's according to Stevetigger though, so it may be total bollocks.

ha ha ha thats well funny
thats so unlike you Zayyan

to me it looks like the seats dont go all the way back because of the rear
interior panels (like door cards where the speakers go)
the levers on the side of the seats would catch

I've had 2 cabs with the Ricaro seats and they definitely don't go very far down.

[stevetigger]

What Zayyan said I said, is the reason!

Incase of a rollover

And the info is straight from the German factory when the E30 Convertible first came out.

Was watching sumit on the telly some time back.

Funny looking German guy with a '70's porn tash too.

[cliffybabe]

'70's porn tash too.

This made me laugh

so they decided to make seats not recline instead of having a roll bar

So instead of you falling back onto the bcak seat if it flips, they make your head/back take the brunt of the blow?!

[stevetigger]

A roll bar would look shit, it would make the BMW look like an Escort
