Recaro Seats - help needed...

I've recently bought a pair of (new) Recaro Sportster CS seats for my E92. Identical to the BMW Performance seats, but not quite as pricey. But I'm really struggling to assemble the base units and sliders as the assembly instructions (or lack of) from Recaro are totally rubbish (not even an exploded diagram is provided!).

Has anyone on here fitted Recaros and might be willing to send me their fitting instructions, or give me some pointers? I'm faced with two gorgeous seats, a box full of nuts, bolts and metal pressings and no meaningful instructions. It's worse than IKEA!

Cheers.

Sorry can't assist but was wondering:

What you going to do with;
The passenger set detection/warning?
Seatbelt Anchors?
Seat heating (if you have it)
Airbag warning?

I was going to fit these to my car but the hassle/cost of fixing the above problems so there were no error/warnings or things not working put me off

Good points, but these Recaros are meant for the E92 and have everything needed to deal with the electrical issues. They come with air bags fitted by the way...

No, I didn't want Alcantara seats in an otherwise all-leather interior. But they are E92 specific.
