FS: E24 Recaro Seat Base's

Post by E dub »

For sale is a set of original BMW Recaro seat bases for an e24. ( these also fit e28's) These have become very hard to come by and are in nice shape. I'm looking to get $500 obo plus shipping for the pair.

I have not seen these for sale in quite some time so feel free to make an offer...

Will these match the bolt pattern for all E24s or only the early, pre-1984 models?

For those in the know, these frames are the same from any comfort non powered E24 or E28.

The unique part is simply the adapter that mates the Recaro the the frame. I had a set made for my own car as it is really just an adapter plate at that point...

Regarding manual comfort seat bases.
With those stepped brackets, Recaros will bolt in.

However, e24 and e28 differ.

Five series seat belts bolt to the bracket
Six series seat belts bolt to the car itself so that people can sneak into the "back seats"

Therefore e28 brackets have an outboard seat belt mount, which are necessary for the e28s.

I am putting an e28 set in my e24 and plan to cut the mount off.

I would trade my e28 seat brackets for a similar condition set of e24 brackets without the outside seat belt mount.

FYI for posterity: I've pulled two sets of adjustable E24 bases out of cars recently - an '83 and an '80. Both had these bases with seat belt mounts on the base itself.

I think only very early E24s had the seatbelt mounts on the transmission tunnel.
