▀▄ eas | Macht Schnell - Competition Liteweight Floor Mounts for Racing Seats

[tom @ eas]

Race seats can offer a an immediate improvement in driver feedback keeping you planted to the seat and concentrated on driving, while offering a significant weight savings. However, most race seat companies leave it up to the driver for a mounting solution.



Macht Schnell Floor Mounts are designed for the serious track enthusiast in mind. CAD designed and machined from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum, these mounts are as strong as they are light. Multiple mounting positions allow driver to dial in an exact seat position that is most comfortable and perfectly centered to the steering wheel.

Competition Liteweight Floor Mount Features:
- CAD designed and CNC machined from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum
- Allows fitment for Recaro and most other race seats on the market
- Fully compatible with slider brackets
- Low profile allows for sliders or taller drivers allowing helmet clearance
- Black anodized finish for additional strength and corrosion/wear resistance
- Side provisions allows brackets (sold separately) for OEM seatbelt receptacle mounting or race harnesses
- Available in Black Anodized or Raw Aluminum finish
- Can be used on Driver or Passenger's side
- Sold as a set (one seat)

Macht Schnell recommends RECARO racing seats for the highest in quality and craftsmanship.

For those running race seats, the Passenger Occupancy Sensor Mat (OC3) is now an integral part of the OEM seat leather and cannot be ordered separately - triggering a “Passenger Restraint Error” message that hijacks the iDrive/OBC, rendering it useless.




Macht Schnell has come up with a solution for those running fixed-back shells and want to retain their iDrive/OBC displays with an OC3 emulator module that easily ties into your BMWs wiring with no cutting or splicing needed and can be removed at any time. For those running race harnesses, the Macht Schnell OC3 module will properly emulate seatbelts in the fixed position - eliminating any errors caused to allow you to focus on on the track and win.

The Macht Schnell OC3 Seat Occupancy Sensor Emulation Module is possible of the following features:

- The ability to run racing seats with no system errors, allowing full integration
- Elimination of “Passenger Restraint Error” messages on both iDrive and OBC cluster displays while in use
- Proper emulation of passenger OC3 Seat Occupancy Sensor
- Optional emulation of seatbelt receptacles (fastened position for both driver & passenger) for those running race harnesses
- Allows the use of BMW Performance Seats, which are not compatible with US models
- Completely removable at any time

Note: The Macht Schnell OC3 Seat Occupancy Sensor Emulation Module will disable the passenger dash airbag to prevent unsafe deployment. For this reason, this module is not intended for street vehicles and can result in possible injury or death if proper restraint conditions are not followed. Not compatible with euro models

That interior is nice.

Tom, I am assuming that the kit works for RHD cars? How much is it for a set of everything including the Recaros for driver's side (Right in my case!) only? Please PM me. Thanks.

Finally... This is the kind of stuff I've been waiting to see for these cars. Seats and such are definitely out of my "mod budget" for the time being; however, that interior is HOT. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Once the aftermarket for the 1er comes in to its own, this platform is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Very nice!

This is compatible for RHD vehicles also, however - the OC3 module is for US models only (occupancy sensors are much different overseas).

Appreciate the feedback, thanks.

How much for one PP seat (not leather) complete with slider and harness brackets? And how will it be with the airbag error on my euro spec?

[nordique14]

How much headroom would I gain from installing recaros on these sliders?

You actually lose headroom installing sliders compared to non-sliding assemblies. Are you referring to a comparison from the stock BMW seats vs Recaro?

Depending on seat adjustment, you gain about 3-4" in headroom switching to Recaros.

the Recaros will not have side airbags. Will I get a a SRS warning light?

Yes - unless the OC3 module is used or coded out with custom programming.

So the OC3 also handles side airbags for the driver's seat? Sounds like I will lose my passenger side airbag when I only want to disable the driver's side airbag warning.

Yes, this will emulate the D/S airbags as well to keep the warning lights from appearing. No lights will be present after installation.
