BMW E46 M3 RECARO SPORTSTER CS MOUNTS + SLIDERS

[M3INABUFU]

I am about to purchase a set of Recaro Sportster CS seats, and I simply want to make sure
I am purchasing the correct mounts and sliders for installation. If there is anyone knowledgeable

If I purchase the Recaro Slider Kit, from Turner/ECS is there anything else that will be needed to install?

You need both the slider, and the bracket. What you posted is just a universal slider.

There is E46 M3 specific Recaro brackets and sliders, but they're expensive and hard to find in the US.

To use the universal sliders, you would also need something like this.

Once you factor in the $400 for brackets, plus $350 for sliders, it's only about $100 more for each side to get the chassis specific mounts from Recaro. But AFAIK schmiedmann is the only place to get them for a decent price.

If you have money to throw around, here is the E46 M3 specific setup on ebay.

So if I buy the ebay setup, would I need anything else?

No, thats all you need. It's a complete package.

If you have time on your hands you can get the same setup from schmiedmann but, its a 6-8 week wait time. Cheaper cost at $1080 vs the ebay sale for $1260 with immediate delivery.

I just posted my Brey Krause mounts for Recaro Sportsters for sale... reuses your factory rails & motors, plus they sit lower than the slider version and cost less. Lots of people on here have them... surprised no one has suggested them yet

BK also make them for manual seats if your car isn't wired for power.

FYI there's only a <3lb difference between manual and power seats
