these recoaos were only available in the m3 sport evo

either in motorsport cloth or black leather , they are rocking horse shit, expext to pay £1000 minmum for them

they are the same as a recaro SR, how ever the base frame and runners on the originals are different to the ones supplied now by recaro, OE bmw ones had hight and tilt adjustment

i had a set of originals in black leather which have made way for a new set trimmed in leather for my project.

enjoy :D

good luck with the frames !! the recaro suplied ones are good enough, they do everything thats needed and thats what i've got now.
:D

i'm not building a sport evo, and i wanted everything in my car to be new.

If someone has some of these, surely the frames can be reproduced by a good fabricator, thus sving £600 at the dealers?

That's what I meant. Copy an original. Should be fairly straight forward for a good fitter/fabricator.

pointless having originals

the seats come with e30 specific frames from recaro, they slide back and forward, recline and tilt forward for rear passengers ( i wont ever have any ! )

any need for hight adjustment and tilt/rake ?? they sity in a very good position as is, low down and very snuglu in the seat.

if you are realy determined use a frame for a regual e30 sports seat as they have high and tilt/rake adjustment ?
