An OMP direct fit subframe for the BMW F22. Part number HC848-F22.
The 2 Series coupe
F22 is the coupe of that generation, and it takes its own frame within the HC848 family. The M240i and M2 are listed on their own part numbers even though the cars are closely related, so order on the chassis code.
Send us the registration if you want that confirmed rather than working it out from the V5.
What an F22 owner is usually solving
Rear wheel drive, a long bonnet and a short cabin make this an easy car to place, and drivers get confident in it quickly. The factory seat is where that runs out: it is a comfortable road seat with shallow bolsters, and it lets you move once you start carrying speed.
You are buying support here rather than weight saving or a lower hip point.
Keeping the originals
The frame uses the mounting points already in the floor. Nothing is drilled, so the standard seats come out whole and go back in when the car is sold, which on a car this recent is worth doing properly.
The detail
Steel, base mount. Two bolt patterns, 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau and 405mm by 290mm for Recaro, from the multi-hole clusters at each corner.
Sold singly and handed. Order twice for both sides, and tell us about the side airbags before you begin.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the BMW F22 (F22). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). 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 OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
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.
Does this fit a Corbeau PSR seat?
Yes. The Corbeau PSR is a base-mount seat drilled for both 291mm and 345mm patterns, and this frame covers the 345mm x 271mm pattern, so it is one of the routes that suits it. Tell us your exact seat and car year and we will confirm the full kit.
