ISOFIX passenger seat

[ErrErrminator]

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a black, heated, manual adjustment, non-M-Sport seat with the ISOFIX anchors please? I believe FL cars may have been fitted with them as standard, whereas pre-FL was optional. Possible buy or swap/exchange?

As an option I suppose I could also consider a pair in a different colour if the passenger one has the ISOFIX.

Assume you are talking E85/6

Not all face lift cars have them. There were made standard IIRC later on, and also came with the passenger airbag deactivation included.

 

[ErrErrminator]

Yes, E85. Am looking to acquire the necessary parts to install the passenger airbag de-activation also.

is your car seat front-facing or rear-facing?

 

[ErrErrminator]

Front facing.

I’ve been reading all the laws and guidance on the matter. Lots of opinions on having airbag deactivation on or off also, the law being off with a rear facing. Some say just slide the seat as far back as it will, others that the front passenger airbag should be de-activated for any child up needing a car seat (<12 yo or 135cm).

I don’t believe ISOFIX is strictly necessary with the class of high back booster seat I’ll be using, as it uses the three point seat belt, but it is a bit more reassuring being securely connected to a rigid fixing.

I take my daughter in the car every now and then in a front-facing seat. I spent a long time researching and the best guidance was from the AA.

Only rear facing seats legally require the airbag to be shut-off and as you say, seat back as far as it can go.

I only take her for a leisurely drive every now and then, but obviously as a 2-seater the safest option is not to take them out at all

I have a ISOFIX bracket. You could send me your standard bracket and I would send you my ISOFIX bracket.

You have to get your passenger seat out of the car. Get rid of 8 screws and you got the metal bracket :wink:

Send me a PN if you are interested.

Certainly interested if it is possible to get ISOFIX without having to buy new/change seats.

you won't get the ISOFIX bracket from your local BMW dealer, since it is not possible to order that bracket alone (without a seat undertray).

But I have a spare one.

Hi ErrErrminator - just wondering if you managed to get this sorted? Been wanting to retrofit the Isofix and airbag deactivation of mine too.

I’m working on it. Will post up a thread with details if I manage to get it all done as I hope.

Thank you!

Replied to your PM. My passenger seat has ISOFIX.

Now sorted thanks to Monaco84. No need for a new seat after all. An Isofix bracket to replace the one without will be fixed into my car at the weekend, meaning I can take my son out for a drive at last.
