No dealer sells it in the US due to airbag legalities, however there is a set on ebay if you're willing to shell out that much.

Too much...

lol at price, you gotta have more money than brains to buy seats for the car that cost 7000 dollars.

I335 · 02-14-2009, 03:18 PM

You need to be about 6'11" for those seats too or else you won't be able to see over the dash...

ibd12nv · 02-17-2009, 07:23 AM

I just saw these on sell for 2K. Any body interested?

projek3 · 02-17-2009, 08:57 AM

But why, when you can just buy the SAME Recaros for $$$$ less???

phattbam · 02-17-2009, 10:42 AM

Post #35 begs to differ...Do you actually have these seats?
****** says that he is 6'1 and that they ride high...See link below.

Just buy a set of Recaros and have them reupholstered in alcantara or leather...

Yeah, that's an idea...just not sure if the support will be the same as the BMW Performance ones. And yes, I heard that BMW developed these seats with Recaro; still...

GreenPlease · 11-01-2009, 06:17 PM

For $2000 I'd be all over a set of these seats. Hell, I'd be all over them for $3000.

For the Recaros or the BMW Performance ones...I am not sure how much the Recaros cost, but, for the BMW ones, you are looking at almost $6k.
For $3k; I'd buy the BMW Performance seats without hesitation.

Frosty · 11-04-2009, 11:19 AM

... $7k is astounding ~Frost

scott@bmwhn · 11-04-2009, 11:30 AM

but do the Recaros have side impact airbags like the BMW Performance ones do. and if not how hard is it to dissable the airbag sensors so it doesnt throw a light?

From what I have heard' the Performance Seats from BMW may also throw the airbag light for US specs cars. Keep in mind that; even though BMW Performance is based in the US; these seats are not US cars approved by BMW.
