A Planted Technology seat bracket for the BMW 3 Series convertible on the E93 chassis. Part number SB141-2.
Within the SB141 family alongside the main listing covering the E90, E91 and E93, and a third listing under SB141-5113. Three parts on one design, so send us the registration and we will name yours.
The folding hard top changes the job
The E93 is the first 3 Series convertible with a folding metal roof, and the mechanism takes up a great deal of room behind the seats. That has two consequences.
Backrest angle and shell depth matter more than they would in a saloon, because there is less room to recline into. And the rollover protection system sits behind the rear seats and deploys upwards, which is worth understanding before anything gets moved or stored back there.
Tell us the seat you are considering and we will check it clears everything before you order.
Practical
An E93 is also the heaviest E9x by a margin, so nobody is fitting a shell for weight.
Side airbags throughout. 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 3 Series. 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.
