Anyone know of or have the Recaro Sportster CS seats?

Basically asking if anyone has these seats, and how did you get them, and will there be any brackets made for the M3 (e92)...

Pictured here:


They also happen to be the same seats as on the new 1 series performance catalog, just bmw branded:

Also, these are the same seats as the R8/RS4
I'm just dying to see if they can be purchased and put into an M3...for Canada/US regulation (i.e. side airbags and all that shit.

Anyone w/ any info is appreciated.

The R8 and RS4 do have similar seats, but they don't look anything like the above Recaros.

I actually think they're the same ones, just upholstered differently, at least in the R8...And plus, Recaro makes those seats.

Those actually look really comfy...I don't like how my sport seat's bolsters come in so close to the middle of my back. I like how the bolsters on those recaros start from the outside and go forwards.

There's no doubt about that! It's the groove I'm worried about

What did you guys do for the Airbag error messages? I would like to get a set of Sportster CS but dont want airbags for the added weight. Is there a module that would trick the car to think that airbags are indeed there?
