I'm struggling to find manual sliders locally. Would X3 manual sliders work?

How old is your little one now? Does she has any problems hoping back there and then in her seat?
The only reason I'm doing this is for my little one as well

A child will be able to get in easily. Getting a baby into a car seat, esp rear facing, would be tough. I just put my 2.5 y/o in a front facing seat in my M3, with stock seats, and it's a breeze.
Agreed a rear facing car seat is not feasible, though.

I owned the CSL mounts and was originally planning to use them, or have BK copy them... but then they didn't add a useful amount of back seat access, and resulted in the seat being significantly higher. The problem is that, with a fixed back seat, the headrest and ceiling height of the car limit how useful the tilt forward functionality is.
I'm interested to see how your slider modification project goes-- please update after you try it!

Isn't the reclining mechanics built into the stock actual seat?
I thought it can just slide back and forth.

Did you modify the rails by any chance?
I know for fact the Sedan/touring rails allows more leg room at the opposite direction.

Esp for a bigger guy. I'm tall-ish, but slender, and I still have to contort my body to slide in. I cringe as I rub against the b pillar fabric or door panel leather or headliner. I don't do it often at least. I can't image the less reclined bolting position makes a huge difference.
