Have run it in the E92 since day one and just used it again for a passengers seat.

Are there torque specs for these? Got mine today and loosely assembled them until the seats come in but any more specifics would be helpful

Installed my Recaro Pole Position ABE with Macht Schnell Clubsport mounts this weekend, a few notes:

- M8 x 1.25 pitch x 16mm length was what I used to mount the seats to the side mounts. I went with grade 12.9 which might be overkill but was available so that's what I used.

- I used the innermost mount point on the clubsports to get closest to being centered on the steering wheel

are there any solutions (other than coding) to turn the dash lights off for not having the side airbags? I plan to swap back and forth with the stock seats occasionally and would prefer not to have to code each time if there is a 'plug and play' solution available, even if it means buying a few more parts.

Anyone have a recommended sup strap bar to use with Sparo e92 base, sliders, and qrtr specific side mounts? The QRT side mounts seem to have limited holes in the sides.

isn't there a resistor option? that might be doable as a pigtail.

I was hoping there was, but its not something I have been able to find. I was hopeful there was a vendor who told me it was in the works, but its been over a year and it doesn't seem to have been finalized.

has anyone had issues getting their BK mounts installed? I bought a set of slider mounts for the driver and fixed for the passenger. seats are Sparco Circuit 2 QRT for the driver and Evo QRT for the passenger.

For the driver mounts, the front cutouts are so narrow that i have to dremel the slots wider to be able to choose from more than 2 tilt positions. otherwise they do fit, but the instructions suck.

For the passenger, the outboard rail doesn't line up with the OE seat mount holes. I'm going to have to dremel the rails out a few mm to get them to line up. I spent time on the phone with BK, and while the people have been great, the dremel route ended up being their recommendation.

Kinda surprirsed by the rigmarole given the praise from the forum.
