Planted Seat Bracket - BMW Z3 Roadster (Convertible, 1996-2002) - Passenger/Right
The Planted passenger-side seat bracket bolts an aftermarket seat to the factory floor points in the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 Roadster. It is laser-cut 3/16" steel, hand-welded in the USA and pre-slotted for most major slider patterns. It's a solid foundation for autocross, track-day and street builds.

Disclaimers:
- Seats come in many different shapes and sizes, so not all seats will fit in all vehicles. It is up to the end user to determine if the seat will fit before ordering the seat bracket and other components.
- Many vehicles have the steering wheel offset toward the center of the vehicle. This can be accentuated when installing an aftermarket seat of a different size than the factory seat.
- Replacing a factory seat with an aftermarket seat may cause the vehicle's warning indicators to activate. This can be due to airbag, weight and/or other sensors in the factory seat that are not included in an aftermarket seat. It may be possible to eliminate these indicators with an electronic resistor, but it is up to the end user to determine if a resistor will work and which resistor to use.
- Professional installation is recommended.
Autocross, track days or a canyon road, the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 Roadster rewards a driver who stays located in the seat. The factory seat's bolsters and foam give up long before the chassis does. Swapping to an aftermarket bucket is one of the most effective upgrades you can make, provided the mount is as rigid as the seat.
Planted brings each vehicle into its development center and builds the bracket to the actual floor, which is why it bolts in rather than needing modification. Construction is 3/16" laser-cut steel, hand-welded in the USA for full penetration, with a black powder coat finish and three rounds of quality control.
The top plate is pre-slotted for the slider patterns used by Recaro, Sparco, OMP, Cobra, Corbeau, Momo, NRG, Racetech and most other major seat brands. This is the Standard bolt-pattern bracket, which includes the Recaro pattern. Wide Cobra and Scheel-Mann sliders need one hole per slider elongated by 1/8". There's extra material to drill a less common pattern, or to mount a seat or side mounts directly without sliders.
This is the passenger/right bracket, sold individually. The driver side is SB388DR. Confirm your seat's dimensions against the cabin before ordering. Removing the factory seat can trigger airbag or occupancy warning lights, which may need a resistor. Professional installation is recommended.
