If your seats don't have ANY kind of mounting bracket on them at all, then you will want to get these. Although they MAY not be necessary, your seat would sit very low without them. The other thing you need is the stock sliding rails that are currently on your stock 2002 seats.

my recaro's are higher on one side than the other(because of the bottom of the seats currently)

is this what i need to make the seat level and bolt it to the 02 slide rail.

thanks a ton...w/out anything to look at and trying to figure out what it is you need is worse than flying blind.

Are the sliders black or plain metal? How do you slide your seat, using the stock padle on the sides of the seat or with the lever that is mounted to the seat and sticks out in front?

i just picked up these 320is recaros to put in there.

it looks like they have the mounting parts to mount on sliders (no sliders on the recaros) but one side of each of the seats is higher.

thanks a TON for the help,

If the 320is seats you have came right out of a 320 in working order, you need to remove the 320 sliders (2 allen bolts each side, I think). Then you bolt on the 2002 slider tracks to the same holes. The 02 slide lever in in the floor of the car.

The 320i interior is setup with one side higher than the other, so the mounts on the seat have to compensate for that when they are installed in the 320i. Usually this is made up with a taller slider mechanism on one side than on the other side. When you remove the 320i sliders, you are left with 2 curved brackets (like the ones in the pictures that you posted above) that are now the same height.

It sounds like you are saying there are currently no sliders on the seats, but that the brakets are higher on one side than on the other side. If that is indeed the case, get some pics so I can see exactly what you have. It could be that the car they were in before had a different setup for some reason.

Click the link and scroll down. The bottom of this seat has the brackets that you bolt directly to the stock 2002 sliders. They are the same height and are ready to install. Do your seats have these on the bottom?

the seats that i have look like they have more on them than the ones in the pic. my seats have the seat belt lock still there as well as a wire/cable hook up (that looks like it goes to the seat belt lock?)

you guys are the best! thanks a ton for your help on this.

The 2002 seat mounting points on the body are not made to hold you and the seat in an impact, which is why the buckle on the 2002 is mounted to the body, so the 320i buckle is not a good idea in this application.

Are you sure the sliders are not still on there? It sounds like they may be. Take another look at them and you should be able to see that if you remove the slider contraption (it is actually the two sliders, joined across the middle by a bar or cable) you will see that underneath all of that JUNK, it looks just like that picture on the Aardvark website.
