Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 04:31 AM

lol...Thanks Professor..
I am actually shopping for a cool booster seat for my 26 month old grandson to put in the vert..
BMW have one but it is about $800...Tooo steep, although it looks great.

professor · 05-14-2008, 04:41 AM

wish i could help joe. i've been looking for cool ones for my twins for a while. i think they'll outgrow that age before i find anything! do you mind giving me a link to the BMW ones if you have it?

smarm · 05-14-2008, 04:41 AM

Why am I thinking of the 'cool grandpa' sketch in Jackass 2, with that guy driving the vert

That is cool though Zuzu

Sorry..havent got the link.

I only saw it at my dealers installed in a new 335i vert waiting to be picked up by its owners.

The dealer told me that they had to import it privately, but i am sure he showed me the seat in some BMW Acc cat.
I will talk to the dealer and see if I can find out for you.

It was an awsome looking baby seat..really mod and loooked like a mini recaro seat.

Saw a pic a while ago, lets see if I can find it again. Yup, Go here: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...equipment.html

... then look at the last pic in the series, is that it? If I were a baby, I'd be happy in that!

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 05:05 AM

Well done Simon...thats it..

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 05:07 AM

The baby seat is no where as BULKY as the local seats available in oz..

Thanks. Here's a better page:

http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/accessories/0,,1312_181236482__bs-MQ%3D%3D%40bb-Q1A%3D%40sit-bmwuk%40dht-aHR0cDovL3d3dy5iYXllcmlzY2hlYm13Lm5ld2RvbG4ubmV0,0 0.html

Damned Flash pages: Click on 'Safety and Security'.

No pricing though and it looks like it uses the ISOFIX anchoring system which I don't think is yet AS approved here. I could be wrong though.

professor · 05-14-2008, 05:03 PM

thanks for the links simon. yes, they really do look flash. i've always imported seats from europe for my kids so this'll be nothing new. i just need to find out fitment for 5year olds!!

Kris · 05-14-2008, 06:02 PM

Cute! :P

WAY · 05-14-2008, 07:19 PM

I just imported a Recaro recently. But maybe I should buy one of these too!

smarm · 05-14-2008, 07:38 PM

Mate just got the Recaro as well for his child. Impressive child seat.

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 07:39 PM

Off hand the dealer quoted me about $1800 for that seat

for which one joe? the recaro monza or the bmw one? damn i have to buy two!

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 08:56 PM

The BMW seat five posts up

WAY · 05-14-2008, 09:01 PM

The Monza is only for 15kg and above. I got a different Recaro (Young Sport). It's suitable for kids from 9kg so my bubs will be able to fit in there soon. http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=3324&L=2 I only paid USD199 plus $120 shipping. Happy to send you the guys email for anyone who may be interested.

professor · 05-14-2008, 09:03 PM

i thought you said 800 earlier?! sorry to be slow on the uptake....

1600 for two is reasonable but 3600?! that's a bit much!

WAY · 05-14-2008, 09:08 PM

$1600 for two is reasonable? Dude, I need to sell some stuff to you. Lol

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 09:19 PM

Sorry professor...I stand corrected by my wife..hehe.. she was taking more attention to what the salesman was quoting...I was toooo busy looking at the Vert...

i have resigned myself to the fact that anything at all imported from premium producers will be ridiculously overpriced by the time it gets to our shores!
