Hi all,
I've decided to part with my seats, as much as it sucks, due to time constraints and other projects competing for my attention. I just won't be able to get these installed and everything sorted in time for track season, so rather than have them sit there through a full season, I've decided to let them go and move on for now. I'm just looking to get back a good portion of what I put into the project.
These were purchased as part of a group buy that was organized over a year go by a member on our forums. Even with a very nice group buy discount, the total invoice ended up being a hair under $3500 with the custom options I chose, including sourcing the custom upholstery from a 3rd party vendor. I am happy to provide my invoice from HMS Motorsports, as they were involved and took the shipments from Cobra Seats in the UK.
In case you would like to know more about the seats, plenty of info along with more pictures can be found
here and
here. In short, the Nogaro bucket seat is one of the only if not the only street-able fixed bucket seats that is tested and certified for use with the Schroth Quick-Fit harness system. It's a fantastic option for a true dual-purpose seat, which is why I was so drawn to it to begin with. You get the additional restraint and safety of having a deeper seat for your hips and the Schroth QF harness, but you maintain a reasonable amount of convenience for driving on the streets. You also don't have to invest in a roll/harness bar or start ripping out the rest of your interior to safely and enjoyably track your BMW. I think that pretty much sums up the qualities of this seat.
On to the custom specs:
- Black Dakota leather bolsters and head rest sections
- M Carbon Structure cloth (same as used in F80 M3/M4 base cloth seats) cushions and center sections
- Seat backs painted Melbourne Red to match BMW Melbourne Red
- Cobra logo delete
- White stitching
- standard 2" cushioning (1" and 3" are optional and can be ordered separately for either more head clearance or a more plush feel, I will provide all of the extra upholstery material that was left over)
The seats will come with a complete Brey Kraus mounting kit for use in F22, F87, F30, F80, etc. See
here for more info/specs on the BK mounting kit as well as other required P/Ns depending on whether you decide to go the electronic or manual seat slider route.
I am asking $3000 shipped or $2850 local sale in the Chicago/NW Indiana region. Only PayPal or crypto accepted unless it's a face-to-face cash deal.
Thanks for looking!
