Recaro seat transplant?

Najainitro · 11-20-2018, 06:47 AM

Hey folks....

I’ve got the opportunity to put my hands on some suede and leather Recaro wingback seats from a Peugeot 207gti....

I’m looking to transplant them into a 2013 BMW 316d F30.

Does anyone know if this is possible ie with compatible runners etc? I’m hoping the seats are universal to some degree being Recaro and it could be as simple as dismantling the base and sourcing a conversion kit? Any thoughts?

Cheers

Does anyone know of any other makes/models of racing seats that would be a direct fit into the F30?

I think anything is theoretically possible if you have the time and money. I don't know of many people on this forum that has swapped out to Recaro or racing seats.... perhaps give Recaro a call to see if they have a mounting bracket for the f30 ? Alternatively, call up your local shop that does "track" prep/work and ask if they know of any solutions ?
