The BMW E24 (76-89)...
Once you start using your BMW E24 for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our BMW E24 guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets:
We recommend using the Planted Technology bracket with suitable universal sliding runners to successfully install the base-mounted reclining sports seats we suggest in our guide. We recommend using our PCI all-in-one fitting kits to install our side-mounted bucket seats. We recommend this guide.
Bucket seat – Side mounts – (optional) Sliding Runners – Fitting frame – Vehicle
Reclining seat – Sliding runner – Fitting frame – Vehicle
**NOTE** Cobra and Recaro fitting equipment is for Cobra and Recaro Seats only!

Our top choice...
For the BMW E24, our top seat choice is the Sparco GT paired with the Planted Technology BMW E24-specific subframe because it delivers the best balance of fit, comfort, and installation integrity in a chassis that was never designed around modern aftermarket seats.
The E24 has a wide transmission tunnel, long doors, and a relatively low roofline, which means many modern bucket or aggressive sport seats either sit too high, foul the tunnel, or compromise entry and exit. The Sparco GT’s slimmer base, moderate bolster profile, and reclining design suit the E24’s cabin proportions well, allowing a correct driving position without making the car feel cramped or awkward for road use.
When combined with the Planted Technology frame, which is laser-cut and vehicle-specific, the seat sits square to the steering wheel, maintains factory mounting geometry, and avoids the stacking height issues common with universal frames.
Recommended reclining seats:
We recommend these reclining sport seats based on previous BMW E24 customer cars.
Tried and tested, we know they fit the floor mounting kits perfectly for a direct installation.
We’ve picked different styles of seats based on different budgets and styles.
