BMW E39 with Sparco Demon Seats

The BMW E39 automobile platform was the basis for BMW 5 Series between 1995 to 2004.  A mid-life update appeared in 2001, featuring minute detail changes. At launch, the base model was the 520i, which developed 150 hp in the pre-update models, and 170 hp in later models. An M5 variant was introduced in 1998, with a 5.0 litre S62 V8 engine. All models but the M5 were available as either a sedan or a touring wagon.

Introduced in Europe in 1995, the complete vehicle redesign draws heavily from the E38 7 Series in body construction and electronic technology. The mid-level BMW sedan showed evolutionary styling changes rather than a dramatic redesign.  In the US, the new 5 Series came in two forms; the 528i and 540i. The 528i is equipped with the 2.8 litre M52 in-line six carried over from the 1996 E36 328i and the 540i quipped with the 4.4 litre M62 V8. Both engines were upgraded over the prior 5 Series generation. The 2.8 litre dual overhead camshaft six-cylinder engine made 190 hp, versus 282 hp for the 4.4 litre dual overhead camshaft, all-aluminum V8. A ZF five-speed manual transmission without overdrive was standard on the 528i, with an optional A4S 310 R four-speed automatic. The 540i, in contrast, could have either a Getrag six-speed manual or a new five-speed A5S 560Z automatic transmission with adaptive transmission control.

If you are truly looking to style up your BMW E39, then good custom seats, such as the Demon Seat are a logical upgrade.  There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use.  Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.

Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Demon racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits.  Because racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.

Demon Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Demon seats will need to latch to seats rail, which is car specific.  Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your aftermarket seats.

Sparco Seats, the maker of the popular Demon seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seats industry.  Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Demon seats but few succeed.    

The Demon seat has a tubular KBA approved frame and upholstery in soft leather with two color styling. The Demon seat was constructed in a partnership with BMW and Sparco supplies the Demon seats in the accessories section for the "John Cooper Works" Mini Cooper, though you can order these seats to fit most makes and models.   Demon Seats are designed to be ergonomic.  They provide a highly supported seat, featuring a tilt forward lever, molded high-density foam padding, micrometric precision backrest adjustment and adjustable lumbar support.  Demon seats have been tested and approved to ECE 17 (Europe) and FMVSS 208 (USA) standards.

The support that Demon seats offer through the bends is truly amazing. Never again will you be in your passenger's seat when taking a long sweeping bend at speed. Even if your not heavily involved in the 'going fast' scene Demon seats provide the sort of comfort associated with a luxury car. No more back pains after the long journey to and from work.
