F40 M135i Seats

[Usel]

Ok I just measured my E89 seat rails and they match chanlon1's measurements. That's one box ticked.

So are you up for doing the electrics Usel, paid of course, as I'll buy some seats asap.

I'd help you as much as I can!

What county do you live in?

[Usel]

Been looking at realoem and the seats in the F40 M135i are exactly the same as the seats in the M235i just in case that helps finding seats.

The F40 M135i seat back, the metal frame and the foam only, are used in the G29. The G29 has a different leather skin. The seat metal base is exclusive to the G29.

The mini clubman actually has exactly the same seats as the F40 135i as well but with a different skin and look awful, basically just cloth, least said the better about those.

Looking through car breakers this morning and look what I found:

So they do fit, the backs look quite tight.

Does anyone who reads this live near Sheffield so they can go test the seat fit for us

Will the roof on a roadster go over the seat tops though as that's a coupe in the pic....

Only go if you are equally curious but hopefully in the not too distant future you maybe able to answer

Do you have a G29? If so maybe measure the seat back to see how tall it is then I can compare to the seats in my Zed

Im tempted to have a run out to this midweek if I get a spare moment (just up the A1) Just to see if it has some 'that bit is better than mine parts' ..
Not interested in the seats but appreciate the shout out for the find

If you go see if you get a chance to slide the seat back further:

Also offer them a cheeky £100 and say your friend might be interested in them. There's a chance they may not know what they have.

Thanks and hope you find bits you need

Quarry motors will know exactly what they have Usel, they've been trading for years. I'm 100% going this week so will check on the seat back you picture incase PP doesn't get there.

Here are the ones in my M135i.
I measured from the seat base to the tops of them. Should give you an idea of height.

Awesome, you're a star!

Measured my e89's and they are over 34" not quite 34 ¹/²"

That'll be great John

I have had absolute bargains from Synetiq in the past.

Absolutely....many thanks for that Chanlon.

[chanlon1]

happy to help - if someone can just find me a cheap "3.0si" badge for the front wing that would be great....I'm missing one and too tight to buy brand new. Can't even source a fake anywhere!
