race seat brackets

one30five · 06-30-2014, 08:42 PM

I have some recaro SPG XLs coming and the vendor doesn't sell the car specific brackets. I found a used set on ebay that came out of an E92 M3 and I see Turner Motorsports sells brackets that apparently work for both E8x and E9x platforms.

Is It safe to assume that ANY bracket for a e9x would fit a 135i?

Please help. need to place and order ASAP. for track weekend

I have VAC floor mounts for the e82 and they are shorter than the e9x ones. The E9X ones may fit but these are definitely shorter.

Take some pics when you get them installed. I'm interested to see the results!

So I think i'm set up. I measured my 2007 335 and then my 135i and the measurements between fasteners on the floor mounts are the same. So I should be good with the E9x floor mounts which are on the way, plus the Recaro sliders

E8/9x floor mounts are the same.

Thanks all! Seats should be in on the 8th. I'll post pics. If anyone is reading this to gain information one thing to remember is that if you plan on running your factory seat belt, the latch part is fastened to the factory seat. Turner Motorsports makes an adapter to move it to the floor. I will fab my own @ work.
