Recaro sub-frame for the BMW Mini R50 at 295.31. The price is for one side.
The mounts in between
What holds the seat is a pair of Recaro side mounts; what holds the mounts is this frame. Seat plus Recaro side mounts is what Recaro homologate, which is why the mounts are Recaro’s and why they are not in the box with the frame.
The car
The 2001 to 2006 Mini hatch, with the R53 Cooper S on the same floor and the R52 convertible listed separately for the same frame. The R56 from 2006 is a different frame. One side.
Direct fit
The base for a Recaro seat in this car, on the original mounting points, at the height Recaro designed the seat around.

Which seats does it take?
