Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

[BMWahba]

They do respond eventually but are probably extra slow due to covid right now. They took a week or two to get back to my initial email last fall but are great to work with. I’m local so went in to the store to discuss details.

Been waiting for my seats for a long time .. seat heater pads got lost in transit to them for a while and now shipping from England is ridiculous. I’m not really in a hurry though.

The group buy deal was ridiculously good compared to what mine cost, but I asked HMS if there are any discounts available and they threw 10% in, so that’s something!

Did you have them do something custom?

Is it still possible to have cobras made in a custom centre fabric if I supply fabric? Where/how would I do that?

HMS doesn't respond to emails ;p

There was a group buy on M3forums for these if I remember correctly? Wish I didn’t miss out on these. What was the discount?

Doesn't really matter since it's over and never going to be repeated (was made exceedingly, repeatedly clear to me that it was a one time thing when I organized it).

I’ve been trying to google and not getting much out there. I am 6” 230lb with wide shoulders and pretty big thighs, do you think these seats will be comfortable for me?

6"? damn, you short lol

I would very much suggest sitting in any seat before buying it. But, I suspect you’ll be fine, which holding the steering wheel. In the passenger seat you’ll likely find the wings push your shoulders forward.

If I didn't get a deal and a half for my SPG XL's I would have gone with these. I'm local to HMS as well so I can confirm they are quite comfy.

great thread and good to see it back online.

Fantastic thread, thanks for this. Makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking how much great stuff was written in M3Forum.net.
And as someone who's fantasized about Recaro Sportster CS many times but balked at the cost, this looks like a very good alternative.

How much leather did Cobra have to use to cover both seats?



Different thickness of pillows would help, I imagine. I also know Sparco makes a butt wedge for this purpose.

1.5 hides.

Liam: Here, I got you this butt pillow you can put on the seat so you can see over the dash

Now If we can just figure out how to make a Nogaro height adjustable so my wife could drive...

It would be interesting to compare these to Pole Position ABE’s - seems to be the closest comparison.
