Corbeau direct-fit sub-frames for the BMW 1 Series. Part code BMW1SERIES.

The BMW 1 Series is the rear-wheel-drive small BMW, sitting below the 3-Series in the range but sharing the same drive layout. The 1M and later 135i have a strong following in track day use and club motorsport, and the body’s lighter weight makes it a genuinely competitive tool at the right spec. The standard Sport seat leaves the driver sliding during hard cornering, and a bucket seat is one of the first changes drivers make for circuit use.

These sub-frames bolt to the original 1 Series floor fixing points without modification. Corbeau-seat-specific bolt pattern, not cross-brand compatible. Both driver and passenger positions covered.

Price is for one sub-frame set. Seat is not included.

Additional information

Brand

What's included?

Photos are for illustration: It is very important to point out that the main product photos are entirely for illustration only. With over 1000 different frames available for different vehicles and applications, the manufacturer images provided are entirely illustration. What you receive may differ from this image.

What will be in the box? There are several types of seat frames which may be supplied depending on the vehicle and application. You may receive 1 of the following 4 types. If you are using them with a certain seat, please contact us in advance for professional advice.

#1. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner and resisitor kit
#2. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner
#3. A full replacement frame only
#4. An adaption bracket kit

Additional seat belt brackets: Each seat frame can be used for a variety of applications including road car reclining seats throuh to Motorsport FIA seats. Seat belt brackets are not required in a range of application so manufacturers generally do not supply them with their frame kits. If you require seat belt brackets please contact us in advance  

NOT SUITABLE FOR OEM/FACTORY seats removed from other vehicles

Bolt point tolerances:

Please note that OMP, Sparco and various other brands have a +/- 10mm tolerance on the bolt point locations on each of their sub-frames. This means that when installing the equipment into your vehicle, you may find that one or more of the bolt points may need extending for a perfect fit.

This is normal and, when installed by a skilled professional, it may only add five minutes to the total installation time. A prime example is the OMP Renault Clio MK3 frames and the BMW E46 frames as two bolt points need extending by 5mm in 75% of installations.

Drilling of frames and equipment may be required to complete your installation.

Matching seats and frames:

There are over half a dozen different bolt patterns in the industry for base mounted seats. There are over 30 different bolt patterns for side mounted seats. Aftermarket frames from different brands will have different bolt location points. 

Seats and frames are not a direct fit between brands. Seat frames are also not suitabled for OEM seats (Fitted into a vehicle from the factory) Please ensure to contact us for professional advice before purchasing your seat frames. We will be able to provide you a recommendation as to which seat frame is right for which seat.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your BMW 1-Series, including our fitting guide. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.

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. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Corbeau frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.

Availability

Corbeau seats are handcrafted here in the UK

FIA bucket seats are built to order, typically 3 to 7 days from the day you order. Kevlar and carbon shells take longer, so ask us if you are working to a date.

Reclining sport seats are also made to order in your chosen trim, and run to a similar timescale.

Made to your specification

Seats built to a specification you have chosen are made for your order, so our special order terms apply once production has started.

Tell us the car and how it is used and we will confirm the right shell and trim before you commit.
