Need A Little Advice on Racing Seats

**phae1017** · 01-24-2003, 09:08 PM

What're your favorites for an E30 M3, what're bad, are they tacky? Personally I think that aftermarket racing seats are pretty sweet, but sometimes I dunno (see attached image). Anyway, any thoughts?

RECARO POLEPOSITION

**phae1017** · 01-24-2003, 11:08 PM

Yeah, seems that Recaros are the way to go. Does the fact that the Pole Positons are not adjustable matter?

I just bought two Corbeau TRS's for my '89 325i last week. Re-upholstered them in black (they were a gray-green) today. I'm very happy with them, and plus they fold forward for rear-seat access. Important since I'm a 2 door...

The problem with a lot of racing seats is that they don't fold forward, so the rear seats become unuseable.

I really like the Recaro SRD's for the M3. (They are what came on the sport evo's too!)

Thanks for the responses!

I have a full on race Sparco in my car, it's really nice and holds me in really well, but after driving for a while it gets uncomfortable.

Recaro SRD's if they were good enough for the Sport EVO the're good enough for my M3!

Sorry for the bad pic, I really got to get some good interior shots!

Can you give me some more info on the M band you have there? Did you buy it? Make it? Comes from recaro like that?

They are a factory part out of the EVO II. The cost was like $30 for them.

So those are just regular Recaro SRDs with black cloth upholstry and the M tri-color insignia, right?

NO WAY, these are the SUPER special only on north easten Europe special 2nd edition seats!

Yup, stock SRD's with EVO seat pins, I got them for the back also, but never put them in.

**phae1017** · 01-30-2003, 03:58 PM

Haha, thanks.

Recaros are awesome. I'm also a big fan of the Sparcos. Cone, any pics?

**Cone** · 02-04-2003, 02:50 AM

Kinda ugly, but there it is, that was taken right before I got the M3 painted.

Where did you get the mounting bracket w/slider for the Recaro SRD? And how much? Thanks

From the plce I got the Recaro seats from. I don't remember how much the parts cost but the whole thing out the door was over $1600

Here's a cleaned up version of your SRDs so more detail can be seen..

Sweetness, thanks. I am now the proud owner of a 91 M3 white/tan interior, I think SRDs would look pretty cool in it...
