The SW0019-3 contains two QMS aluminium bucket seat mounts for the BMW E36/E46, covering both the driver and passenger seats. At £190.00, it costs the same as two separate SW0019 orders at £95.00 each.
Both mounts are the standard SW0019 product: anodised aluminium, multiple adjustment positions, designed to centre a 425-440mm seat relative to the steering wheel on the E36 and E46. FIA approved.
A two-seat fitment in an E36 or E46 needs both a driver-side and a passenger-side mount; they are not the same geometry. The SW0019-3 covers that in one order with matching hardware on both sides, which is the more straightforward approach for a car being built out fully at one time.
If only one seat is going in, the SW0019 single-pair listing at £95.00 is correct. For the steel version covering both seats at lower cost, the SW0077-X2 is £89.50 and saves £100.50, at the cost of the aluminium construction and finish. We hold UK stock of the full QMS fitting range; the lead time for most orders is two to three working days.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Which BMW E36 Bucket Seat Mounts Should You Use?. It is written around the same model, so check the generation matches your car.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. 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 QMS frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
