I went through the price finder and never heard from them. I'll try again.

Have you tried BMWPartsonline.co.uk ? I haven't been keeping up with the thread.

That is where I got mine from.

If you figure it out V, can you post some pics? Mine just shipped so I'll be doing the same thing in 2 weeks time

realoem is only showing photos of different style bracket even though I search for bracket ending in 0 413 022

I meant to say photo!

think I worked it out. didn't help having the car parked on a slope facing downwards with my car lowered. I'm on a flat now and can only just see the right mounting holes I'm meant to be looking at

the holes on the underside of the seat are not threaded!!! you will thread as you screw it in so be careful. I put a zip tie on it as well, just in case the whole thing gives way

I give up. I can see exactly where this fits up but there's next to no room and the self-tapping screws are a nightmare. My hands are too big to get anything done in there. I can't even get 1 screw in. Fail

[BMW86]

I'm to pop the whole seat and install it, will only be a 10-15 minute job that way. I don't have the right bit to pop out the screws holding down the seat though so I'll have to do it another day.

are you shitting me! Im probably the fattest/oldest here (well except for lusty or Joe ) and i got both installed with a ratchet and socket in the driveway. you bloody cane toads are soft.

try harder Vinney! i spend 2 hours trying to get the damn thing scrwed in but i finally did it... I broke my back doing it though for being in such an akward angle...

ps. Pavo you need to post pics so we can judge if you are the "fattest", you are definitely not the oldest im sure someone else is a lot older....

nah lusty fatter than me , but the rest of you runts are much lighter

It's definitely challenging. The problem is if I put the seat in its highest position then it comes forward a bit leaving me less room. If the screws weren't self tapping it may be possible. Pavo if you think this is easy then I'm sure you could install a set of downpipes quite easily. I'm a big guy and I've got big hands and there is definitely no way I can get this in, it's too awkward. I'll be ripping out the seat to get this in.

5'10" 100kg (5kg is cock so lets say 95kg) not exactly a ninja

just be patient. I put the seat all the way back and all the up (I'd call it the punchbowl position, like cheap business class sleep position) and crawl in. I did tap the seat withOUT the bracket first then it was easy as.

didn't you put the oil cooler in? this is much easier and no where in the same league as DP's

Yes I'm a bit bigger than you. I was referring to you installing the dp's easily because there's not much room to put your hands in there either. It's not that I don't know what to do, it's that it's a lot harder when there's not much space to move around which is what the problem is here.

I've put in the oil cooler, fmic, and a few other bits and pieces but this is just a case of no being able to see what I'm screwing into and my hands not fitting in there. Will pop out the seat and give this a go.
