Corbeau direct-fit sub-frames for the BMW E30 3-Series. Part code BMWE30.
The E30 ran from 1982 to 1994 and was the basis for the original M3. Surviving examples now split between collector cars in original condition and active track racers where the lightweight body and near-perfect weight distribution make it a serious tool on circuit. Owners are particular about how modifications are done. These sub-frames use the original E30 floor fixings, leaving the floor and sills untouched. The original seats and runners reinstall on the same points if the car needs to go back to standard.
The E30’s narrow cabin and relatively flat floor suit bucket seat installation well. Corbeau-seat-specific bolt pattern. Both driver and passenger positions covered.
Price is for one sub-frame set. Seat is not included.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Custom Cages BMW E30 and E36 Roll Cages, and Fitting Recaro Pole Position Seats into a BMW E30. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
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.
