BMW E36 with Sparco Demon Seats
The BMW E36 model was the basis for the 1991-2000 BMW 3 Series entry-level luxury car / compact executive car. It was the successor to the BMW E30 and was eventually replaced by the BMW E46 in 1999. The 4 door models were discontinued for 1999. Replacing it was the all-new E46. The 2 door E36 was still made for the 1999 year. So in 1999 you could only choose between a 2 door E36 and a 4 door E46. In 2000, the E36 was officially discontinued.
Also known as the "Dolphin shape", the E36 was sold from 1991 through 1999. It employed the "Z-axle" multilink suspension in the rear which had been proven in the Z1. DOHC engines were used across the range, with VANOS variable valve timing introduced in 1993.
The four-door E36 was sold from Autumn, 1991, in the United States but the E30 coupes were retained until well into 1992. The E36 convertible was delayed until 1994. The hatchback 318ti Compact was introduced in 1995, was very popular in Europe, but it was not very successful in North America. The BMW Compact was identical to the regular E36 sedan from front bumper to A-Pillar. Everything else was unique, namely its rear semi-trailing arm suspension, based on the old E30, instead of the Z-Axle Multilink employed in all other E36's.
If you are truly looking to style up your BMW E36, 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.
