Thanks Marty. I knew about the distributor ideal seat company. I thought there might be a trimmer that could organise it.

Can you set the seats at 2 different heights like the original bmw performance seats could? |

The performance seats never had different heights
If you wanted that you had to get the macht schnell rails to lower it The current revision of rails is as low as the seat will go i think They sent me e46 rails not e82 rails so its a 4 week wait now . Last edited by martymil; 08-30-2017 at 02:49 AM.. |

It mentions the option to bolt them at different heights in the bmw performance seat installation instructions so I thought maybe the sportster could as well. I was interested as my head is quite close to the roof lining and wearing a helmet would be quite close.

Looked on ebay and found some near new cream color 135i seats and using them for spare parts to fully integrate the recaros how they should have been done from the factory
Cut all the plugs off needed to make the recaros plug and play and removed the occupancy sensor from the factory seat and going to be installed into the recaro passenger cushion so no coding will need to be done. The airbags will function just the same way the factory ones do. The problem with not running the occupancy sensor is you have to code it out not to get codes and when in an accident the passenger air bag will deploy unnecessarily when no passenger is occupying the seat. This could mean the car being a write off or not from a financial point. |
