RECARO Pole Position Seats COMPLETELY CHANGED My E90 M3 Interior!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In today's video, I finally had the opportunity to purchase and install my dream bucket seat. The E90 M3 has always been known to have a higher seating position, especially when compared to other BMW M cars. So to fix that, I installed a set of RECARO Pole Position bucket seats. These particular seats are the ABE version which are only available in Germany. Overall, these were the perfect choice for me as the seating position, weight, and price point were all huge pros for my application.

I see you’re getting the M3 ready for the track 😏 the side bolster protectors are gonna come in clutch when getting in and outta the seats.
Hi nice job How did you fix the seat belt on door side ? Is there any braket come from with the seat mount ?
Great set up 👍 did you try to weigh the recaro set up? Just curious about weight savings 😅
Seats look fire!!! I sat in one of these these recently & they’re comfy too on top of weight savings 🔥

Sure thing! I'll make a note to do a follow-up review on the driving experience once I have some good seat time in them.
Could already tell ya yardie 😂. I have pile position but sadly it's velour material which rips easy. I want to change the covers but can find any where that sells it or can give me a str8 answer.
As u said position on seat is locked but i would like to ask can they move back and forward or rail is locked to the floor too?

The lower seat mount or "base" is locked to the floor, but the sliders allow the seat to move forward or back.
does putting the seatbelt receptacle through the hole dig into your thigh? Also how tall are you im shopping around for bucket seat for my e92. THank you.

It sits right above my thigh which is perfect for me. This is the best way to route the receptacle in my opinion because it provides the best tension on the belt and and your lap. I'm 6 ft. and on the slimmer side, so this setup works well for me.
Which FIA rating is it?
Did you get an airbag light on the dash?

Yes this mod will trigger an airbag light. However, it can easily be removed through coding.

Did you need an extra nut for the seatbelt tensioner bolt? Or does the oem seat use one?
@MotoGearTV

The factory seat is threaded so you will need an additional nut to secure the OEM tensioner bolt. I used a 10-1.50 nut if I remember correctly.

does the bolts and washer for mounting the seat to the side mount comes with the kit or bought seperately?

I used M8-1.25x25mm bolts if I remember correctly. You can go up to 30mm if you need extra length for your application.

How low does it sit after you installed this?
@MotoGearTV

I haven't measured the exact distance as yet, but it is noticeably lower, even at the highest mounting point with sliders. If you want to go extremely low, then a direct to floor mount is going to be your best bet.
