The best Recaro seats you've never seen before!

BulletproofM · 03-04-2010, 02:36 PM

Recaro seats are arguably the best in world, but I'm sure you guys already knew that! So is it possible to make the world's best racing seat even better? Japanese tuner ASM is the number one Recaro dealer in Japan and they've been offering their own custom colorways and stitching since 2005! ASM works exclusively with Recaro to design their seats, manufactured in house by Recaro, which means you can guarantee only the highest OEM quality. It's the perfect combination of German engineering and limited edition Japanese styling! ASM Recaros are made for a variety of applications including the BMW M3! Here are a few pictures we took from our last visit to ASM in Yokohama last January.

The famous Recaro wall at ASM!

ASM uses only the highest quality materials including alcantara!

ASM's website also has a customer gallery section with a lot of different BMW's sporting their Recaro seats. Here are just a couple of examples.

Recaro RS-G ASM Limited CL, E92 M3

Recaro TS-G Alcantara Version, BT Z4

ASM Recaros have been sold exclusively in Japan, until now! If you guys are interested in more of the seats and styles ASM offers, we have plenty of pictures. What do you guys think?

I appreciate your opinion. I happen to think the OEM quality and unique styling are the perfect solution for someone looking to upgrade the seats of their M3. I understand they're not for everyone though.

I took a tour of the Soccer team Real Madrid's stadium, and the seats that the players sit in while on the "bench' are Recaros.

Pretty cool huh? I thought it was funny, I mean if I am sitting on the sidelines I want to be as comfy as possible and don’t get me wrong, Recaros are great, but you kinda want to be able to move and wiggle around as opposed to just being hugged in place by some racing seats, ya know what I mean?

This brings up a good point. The Motorsport decision is only about 1% of Recaro's total sales - with stadium seating, aircraft and OEM contracts being the majority of their normal business.

Recaro is full staffed with orthopedic doctors on their team for seat design and hold a $3mil liability (from authorized Recaro retailers) on all race shells which really speaks for product quality.

+1. btw, recaro @ soccer stadiums is quite popular, at least in Europe

and about the pics, my favorite recaro seat is the sportster, can't seem to find it among the pictures...basically the same shape as bmw performance seats, which I think recaro makes!
