I run Recaro FIA sides & floor mounts. Took me a while to get the set up how I wanted it - retaining a 3 point & including a 6 point without having to drill through the floor.


Below shows how the kit comes:

LEFT- Floor mount/ RIGHT - Slider (the 2x bars packed on the right you do not use)

Thanks, who did you buy from and what do I ask for, part numbers etc.

I think Mark at NCB sorted me out at the time through Recaro directly in Germany. IIRC they are made to order but some may stock them.
Speak to Capital Seating, they may have stock. Sorry no part numbers, just state E36/ E46 M3.

Alex, there are only 2 parts needed to enable you to fit a seat which are required:

1. Side mounts - required.
2. Floor mounts - required.

Sliders - required only if you want to adjust seat. (Remember this will raise the seat higher).
