Coding notes.

You will need ISTA to reset the OC3, or visit your local BMW dealership to do it. Coding will also be required to eliminate various sensor faults in the seats. It can be optionally provided via remote coding.

Hardware notes.

We provide the hardware to install the tensioner to the Recaro brackets. Spare Recaro hardware is also provided for future adjustments.

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.
