This is the Recaro Seats – BMW F80 M3 Direct Fit Sub-frames, Recaro Seats’s take on the seat fitting frame, available now. A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.

Choosing the right seat fitting frame
A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.
Frames bolt to the factory seat mounting points, so no drilling is needed on a standard floor. Torque the floor bolts properly and check seat belt buckle clearance before you drive it, because a bucket seat often sits the buckle somewhere new.

We have been in the motorsport trade since 2003, supplying club racers, race teams and workshops across the UK and exporting worldwide. That means the advice you get on fitment comes from people who use this kit, not from a spec sheet someone copied over.
If you are a workshop, race team or retailer, get in touch about a trade account. If you are buying for yourself and you are torn between two options, call us. Five minutes on the phone usually settles it.
Delivery, returns and fitment support
UK orders go out on a tracked service and we ship worldwide. If an order is going to an event rather than a home address, put the delivery date you need in the order notes and we will work to it.
On returns, unused items in original packaging can come back to us. Safety equipment is the exception worth knowing about: once a helmet, harness or suit has been used, we cannot resell it, so check sizing and approval carefully before you commit. Made-to-order and custom-finish items are built to your spec and are not returnable, which is exactly why we would rather talk it through first.
If you want the Recaro Seats – BMW F80 M3 Direct Fit Sub-frames checked against your car, your seat or the regulations you compete under, send us the details and we will confirm it. Registration number, chassis number, or the make and model of what you already run is usually enough to settle it.
Recaro Seats – BMW F80 M3 Direct Fit Sub-frames questions
Will the Recaro Seats – BMW F80 M3 Direct Fit Sub-frames fit my seat?
The frame mounts to the car. Whether your seat bolts straight to it depends on the seat’s mounting pattern, so check whether you need side mounts as well. Send us the seat make and model if you want it confirmed.
Does it lower the seating position?
Most fitting frames sit the seat lower than the standard seat and runners. Exactly how much depends on the seat and whether you run side mounts or bottom mounts.
Can I keep the standard seat belt?
Usually yes, though the buckle position often changes. Check the buckle sits where you can reach it and is not fouled by the seat before using the car.
Do I need runners as well?
Only if you want fore and aft adjustment. Many frames accept a slider between the frame and the seat. Ask us if you need the seat to move.
