.:: Help sourcing recaro 996 gt3 brackets / m3 fitment ::. - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Hey guys,
I have a dilemma. I removed the Recaro Sport Toplines from my M3, to replace them with Recaro 996 GT3 seats. Long story short, my old brackets are bottom mount and do not fit the side mount GT3 Recaros, and I am having a problem sourcing the mounts/brackets/sliders I would need for install.

I have seen the GT3 seats in a few M3's, so if you know or know someone who would know, please let me know which direction to go and what I need to do.

I have Wedge Engineering Mounts / Sliders and they have informed me that I can use their side mounts, and drill 2 holes for each seat for proper fitment. I wanted to know if there are ANY other options out there.

Here are the seats I am installing.

You can get the side fixings and console from Recaro if you want it adjustable. If you want it fixed then go for the side fixings from Recaro and console from Sparco/Wichers.

The 996 seats are by Recaro, and are called Nomexis if I am not mistaken, so aim for the Recaro fixings and console.

For fixed I would use VAC motorsport mounts and plates.
