Recaro: The Recaro Garage - All things Recaro

I have never heard of a Recaro-optionned e30. The reason for which BMW started its own sport seats was to get rid of paying big $ to Recaro for their seats. It doesn't mean the Recaro weren't available from aftermarket, but most likely not from BMW. They were available for e12s, e21s, e24s, and e28s. Not the e30.

Not True Lee, I have the option page and I'm sure someone else does as well. Been posted here numerous times. I have about 7 of these seats right now.

Recaro = brand

SRD, LX/LS serie, Speed, Sportline etc = models of seats

I understand that, I was wondering what the OEM E30 Recaro's model is, as I need a new bolster for it. Bought the one off capitalseating and it was smaller than the OEM right bolster.

And here's the ad:

Once again.. it is a recaro ls. You can find the exact same seat in alfa milano verdes, they were available in about 90 cars even some ferrari's. You can use foam from mk2 vw recaros if you like. They are pre trimmed for a non extendable leg rest but it wont make a difference on your base.

Also the foam from capitol seating is slightly different but the foam compresses and because of that when you put the bolster cover on should be the same if not close enough that you shouldnt really notice.

NP - btw those are a variant of the LX.

I was speaking to Ed Hessell from Recaro of NA and he filled me in with some simple but good to know info.

Most of the seats have a 3 digit code. The first 2 such as ls or lx are for the back of the seat. That being said all trophy style seats are ls's and all pointy bolster seats such as the ones above are lx's. The last digit stands for the base for example the tan recaros i posted a while back are lx-a's a being the digit for that flat base.
