BMW E46 with Sparco Demon Seats

The BMW E46 model is the fourth generation of the BMW 3-Series entry-level luxury car / compact executive car. The sedan was introduced in 1998 and replaced the E36 sedan the same year. The touring and coupe models appeared in 1999 with BMW's newly designed steptronic automatic transmissions (available in all 3 series models), and the convertible and M3 later in 2000. The E46 Compact, a 3-door hatchback, was revealed in 2001 to be sold in European and Australian markets.

In 2000, the E46 lineup expanded to include the new (model year) 2001 M3 Coupe. The M only came in a coupe and later convertible (for model year 2002) platform, with either a 6 speed manual or SMG transmission. Unlike its predecessor, the E46 M3 shared very few parts with the standard 3 series. The exteriors of the two cars only shared the doors, roof, and trunk. The exterior of the M has wider fenders and "M styled" bumpers, side skirts, mirrors, a protruding hood, spoiler, and the new tradition of M marked grills on the front fenders and four exhaust pipes. The interior of the M3 was accented with an M steering wheel, seats, rear view mirror, and instrument cluster.  

If you are truly looking to style up your BMW E46, 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.

Sparco 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 these 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.
