A Planted Technology seat bracket for the BMW 3 Series E93. Part number SB141-5113.
Our title says saloon and the E93 is the convertible. We are correcting that.
Within the SB141 family alongside the main listing covering the E90, E91 and E93, and SB141-2. Send us the registration and we will name the part your car takes.
What a folding hard top changes
The E93 is the first 3 Series convertible with a folding metal roof, and the mechanism takes a great deal of room behind the seats. Backrest angle and shell depth matter more than they would in a saloon, because there is less room to recline into.
The rollover protection system also sits behind the rear seats and deploys upwards, which is worth understanding before anything is moved or stored back there.
Tell us the seat you are considering and we will check it clears everything.
Weight
An E93 is the heaviest E9x by a clear margin. Nobody is fitting a shell for weight.

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.
