A Planted Technology seat bracket for the BMW 3 Series coupe on the E36 chassis, 1992 to 1999. Part number SB006.
Coupe is the fitment. The E36 saloon takes SB108 and the E46 saloon takes SB121, so count the doors as well as checking the chassis code.
The coupe is the one that gets built
E36 coupes are the default cheap drift and track car in this country, and they have been for twenty years. That has consequences for buying one and for fitting a seat to it: most have been through several owners who were not gentle, and a fair number have had bodywork.
Which makes the floor check non-negotiable
Get the carpet up before you spend anything. Look at the metal round all four mounting points and look for evidence of repair. On a car that has been drifted, the seat area sees loads the factory never intended, and a bracket can only feed that load into sound structure.
The M3 seats
If yours is an M3 with the Vader seats, they are sought after in their own right and worth real money. Store them and their fixings properly rather than letting them go with the car.
We also stock an OMP subframe for the E36. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your BMW 3 Series Sedan [E36], including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your BMW 3 Series Coupe [E46], 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 made for the BMW E36. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, 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 Planted 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.
