Konig seat install

[TTyMiller]

I'm looking at how to put these in and while it may seem simple I'm a little confused.

Would I be correct in stating that I need to take the sliders off of the stock seats andput those on the Konig seats and then bolt the the seats to the new rails and to the floor screws.

I need to get these installed and away from my boys Jake 7 & Travis 10 before they actually believe those are their video gamming chairs.

Hi guys,

 

I am intentionally bumping this topic as I need similar advice (and no one responded to the other guy, sooo).

 

I have an E21. I know this is an '02 forum, but Bimmerforums sucks. Was wondering if anyone knows what the proper recipe is for bolting a set of Konig seats into an E21.

 

I removed these from a 2002 which appears to just have the square-shaped bracket bolted to the floor; assuming some combination of E21 sliders + bracket needs to commence, but not positive. 

 

Any guidance appreciated.

Those square shaped brackets were often used to mount aftermarket seats in the '02.  Take out one of your e21 seats and see if the holes will line up with your seat mounts on the floor.  If not, just drill appropriate holes and bolt it on.  It is also possible that the Konig seats will mate with your sliders.  Finally, you could also get some OEM brackets for the e21 Sport Seats (Recaros) and they should fit to the Koenigs.

I did have it in the back of my mind that I could order some sliders from Aardvark as a "Plan B", correct?

Yes, he does have custom brackets just for after market seats.

You could try "Wedge Brackets" too. They have mucho brackets.

Oh -- these guys were not on my radar. Much more affordable, too.

 

So how would these work, since they are not just the brackets - does this whole assembly bolt to the bottom of the seat? 

 

Looks much "neater" than removing the sliders off of my pristine stock seats and all of that other nonsense....

Call them and talk to them. They know seats better then us. I used some e30  adaptor plates for a set of original Recaro LXF seats and they were made well and fit well.
