A Recaro direct fit sub-frame for the BMW F20 and F30, 350. One frame, for one seat, on one side of the car.
The car side of the fitting
Nothing gets drilled. The factory seat bolts hold it, and it sets how low a Recaro seat sits in this car.
The car
Recaro list one frame for the F20 and F21 1 Series and the F30 and F31 3 Series, because BMW put the seat mounting points in the same place across them. The F22 2 Series and the F8x M cars use a different frame and are on their own pages.
Side mounts are separate
Between the shell and the frame go Recaro’s side mounts, fixed or flexible. Recaro test and homologate the seat with their own side mounts as a whole, so the mounts are the ones to use, and they are ordered separately.
Say which Recaro seat is going in and we will confirm the frame and add the right side mounts.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Recaro frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
