GSM Performance Customer Car Colouring Book Edition 1
Complete fitting kit: side mounts included. These frames come with their own side mounts, so any side mount bucket seat bolts straight to them. You only need the seat and the frame, with no separate side mounts to buy. The slider is built in as well, so no separate runner kit is needed.
Belt buckle clip included. Each frame comes with a belt buckle clip, suitable for attaching a harness or the car’s factory seatbelt clip.
A pair of PCI Racing sliding sub frames for the BMW E46 3-Series, 1999 to 2006. Part number SM-E46-S1-X2.
Both sides in one order. On an E46 that is the normal case, because these cars are usually being built rather than modified one part at a time.
What it does
It puts a side mount competition bucket onto the floor mounting points BMW already provided. Nothing is drilled, the standard seats come out whole, and the seat load goes into structure designed to carry it rather than into holes cut through a floorpan.
The slider
PCI’s S1 slider bolts to the base with four bolts where a conventional slider uses two, which PCI rate as twice as strong as two bolt mounting. That is the detail worth paying for when a harness rather than a seatbelt is loading the seat.
Fore and aft movement also matters more in an E46 than in a dedicated track car, because most of them are still driven on the road and shared.
Construction
Laser cut and CNC formed from a single piece of 1/8 inch carbon steel, with bends adding stiffness where thicker metal would otherwise be needed. Gloss black powder coat, grade 10.9 8mm hardware, five and six point sub belt mounting locations built in.
Before you order
Tell us the seats you are fitting, and set the seat position before you fix harness anchor points. Seat height decides where the shoulder straps are allowed to run.
