Mini F56 Bucket Seat Guide

The Mini F56 story...

The third generation Mini was unveiled by BMW in November 2013, with sales starting in the first half of 2014. Once you start using your Mini 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 Mini seat guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.

Recommended brackets: (Bucket seats)
We recommend these frames to successfully install the side mounted bucket seats we suggest in our guide. No vehicle modifications are required making them a great solution.

The Cobra frame features a 291 bolt pattern that allows Corbeau Reclining seats to be compatible. The Planted Technology frame works well with all reclining sports seats with or without a sliding runner kit.
