    Please post up pics of the Bekkers seats if you decide to purchase. I'm curious to the workmanship and the usabilityl of their universal bracket.

      those look alot like the bekkers seats--but i think i like
      the bekkers harness slots better...

      group buy around here on something more than $20?

      good luck.

        Jordan... your car interior gives me a hard-on... and I'm with you on the alarm sensitivity... I'm running a brand new Clifford II... its ok I guess, could be a little louder... gets the job done but wakes me up 5 times a night when a honda with a ractive exhaust goes by... I think I've loaded and unloaded my glock 200 times since I got the alarm...lol

        what kind of alarm do you have and whats your take on it...

          post hijack?

          anyway...i checked around on some other sites about these
          seats...i had remembered a guy by the name of John540i that
          used to post on the e34 boards at bimmer.info and ended up
          finding a hyperlink to an 8 page thread on bimmerforums.com
          regarding these seats...this John guy apparently worked at
          Bekkers and often posted group buys for e34 stuff...regardless,
          the initial post back in March was announcing this new seat
          and the potential for a group buy...tons of people inquired, but
          the seats and brackets weren't actually ready yet...then some
          people started questioning the quality of the seats in comparison
          to AXE and D.A.D. seats--apparently those are junk...then someone
          started in on the safety approvals on these no name seats and
          the fact that they would simply crumple in a collision...repeated
          inquiries regarding the availability of these seats only got responses
          from John that they weren't ready to deliver, blah, blah, blah...
          every few days someone would bump the post with no response...
          finally, someone called Bekkers to talk to John and actually order
          the seats...John no longer worked at Bekkers, the seats were
          backordered, and no brackets for e30...that was the end of May...

          hhhmmm...those Corbeaus are looking better now...

                  it would be great if it was filled with gas but that is just the filler neck tube, if it was filled with gas it would almost be like one of those ink things on clothes, just look for the guy covered in gasoline

                      Thanks for the update. I suppose you can't expect much from a $169 seat.
