The Gold Standard.

RECARO needs little introduction.

However, the intricaties of fitting seats is often a guarded secret by shops and enthusiasts alike.

In this Special Series, I will document my unboxing, body fitment, exploring mounting solutions specific to the E46 and cover my selection along with installation notes.

Cheers,

Mounting Solutions

Installing buck seats is often more complicated we assume. On this entry, I expand on the seat bracket options and the one I selected for my E46 M3.

On this entry, I cover my unboxing impressions and cover the specs of my Recaro Pole Positons ABEs, and why I picked the ABEs over the FIAs.

There's just something about the Recaro brand that is eternal. 

It's a statement. They are the BBS brand for seats, without the bankruptcies.

It takes Germans to create a seat brand with the euphonic of Latin poetry while still having etymological origins in their Saxon language.
