Recaro Sportster CS - Airbag

I'm planning on installing some CS seats in my new E92 "dual duty" (that's a lie, it'll have a cage soon) anyhow...

Just wanted to know if anyone has installed these seats and wired them for airbags? Car will get some street miles and want to know how plug and play they are.

Ohh yeah you're right, I was mixing up the BMW performance version with the CS.

Hmm... Wish those seats weren't the price of an E46 haha

You can get Recaro Sportsters with Airbags from Europe.

AMX performance is one of the few that can get you a set that will be plug n play. It will require some coding to get rid of the occupancy sensor. Expect to pay about $5k shipped for stock Recaro leathers or $6k for custom upholstery. You can also get heated seats

You can see the airbag module on the side.


Similar, you can just buy them outright on ebay and use your own mounts.
