BMW M3 E93 aftermarket seats

Adriano917 · 06-01-2019, 04:10 PM

New to the forum and just have a few questions for the people that might have installed aftermarket seats to the E93. I’ve had my M3 for almost 3 years now and I have done some exterior, interior and power upgrades on it, and now I want to replace the heavy seats for some Recaro’s or Corbeau’s. I found the tracks on Corbeau but they are for E92 only(called them & they cant verify for E93) I don’t mind fixed tracks and seats, also about the air bag light how to get rid of it. Thank you

Ask GabeS or Atamborski. They might be able to help.

Get sportster gt’s. It’s been done before, diogo at amsautowerks has installed a set. Coding is the easy part.

I was looking at Sparco's since they sell the seat base for the E93 chassis and also the sliders, I was looking at the Mach Schnell seat occupancy system to delete the air bag light, but it seems it only works up until 2008 models. I have a 2009 M3. how can the coding be done ? also the damn Schroth harnesses only specify E92/E90, or will they fit E93's ?

Quoted from rocket_science

1. Add +RECA to the car's VO -Recaro Seats
2. Ensure all the following are set to nicht_aktiv in ABG module:
SIDEBAG_LINKS_1 -Side Airbag (left)
SIDEBAG_RECHTS_1 -Side Airbag (right)
AKS_LINKS_1_CD -Active head restraint (left)
AKS_RECHTS_1_CD -Active head restraint (right)
OC3_1 -Seat occupancy mat
GK/OC3/POL -Not sure exactly but related to the occupancy mat
GURTKONTAKT_BEIFAHRER_1 -Seat belt contract/connection (passenger)
GURTKONTAKT_FAHRER_1 -Seat belt contract/connection (driver)
GURTSTRAFFER_BEIFAHRER_1 -Seat belt tensioner, active restraint (passenger)
GURTSTRAFFER_FAHRER_1 -Seat belt tensioner, active restraint (driver)
SPSBF_1 -Seat position sensor (passenger)
SPSF_1_CD -Seat position sensor (driver)

If e93s have a tether for childseat aka isofix you can use the scroth harness pretty easily.
