M seat ideas.

[john-e89]

North Oxford - OX5

I'm not allowed to drive until January MrT, but if I can sort a run down there id really like a sit in one, I'll keep you posted and thank you, very kind offer.

No worries John, I'll be keeping it until I can fit it in something else anyway

Standard fit in quite a few cars and can be found for very reasonable money on ebay (I nearly bought these myself) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125243894700 ... SwDApiTU~F

Just the kind of seat I'm looking for, ok no climate pack but not the price tag either, great spot sir.

Just for laughs my mk1 Fabia VRS had the worst seats ever:

I got another insight today when I sat in an MC fitted with Recaro Pole Positions - they felt great!

Based entirely on my stationary and therefore totally uninformed opinion I'd put Tillets in a track car and Pole Positions in a road car I might do a few track days in.

But for a car that is never going to see a track, like mine, I'll stick with OE because I'm a tart and like red Nappa leather, heating and memory seats!

this review is just for you john!

Anything with a Recaro badge or Tillett badge is going to be awesome….!

Tillett seats are soooo nice, I seriously considered a set for mine - ended up with Retrimmed Recaro SPGs - full leather & heating pads - pics here:

Seats are such a personal thing though - like Beedub, changing the seats transformed the car - couldn’t wait to get rid of the standard M seats.

total transformation, i could NEVER go back to the stock seat. i must say , getting back into the van arm chairs is a wonderful thing LOL. The z4 feels so serious with them in, getting in is a pita, getting out not much better, the sitting on the floor feel, the vibrations through the chassis , its ALOT, a total assault on the senses!

Mike your seats are LOVELY, from my measurements, they appear like they will foul the door card.

[Mikey_Boy]

Thanks Beedub - they do foul the door card.... Just!!

I put a circular piece of soft velcro on the 'ear' of the seat to absorb any rubbing. As and when the seats need retrimming, I'll get a patch of something more hard wearing put on the ears to help with that issue. A small price to pay for all the benefits you mention above!

A Recaro RSG bucket seat would fit without fouling - finding one however would be far more tricky!!

Cobra Nogaro would also be a good option, slightly easier to live with on a daily basis
