Bucket seats w204 coupe

Hey guys first post on MB world, I have a 2014 C63 507 edition coupe and I’m itching to put in a pair of carbon bucket seats or even the w205 recaro AMG bucket seats. I’m yet to see anything on the market that supports this platform or am I not looking hard enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated I’m looking towards building a true one of one.

Welcome aboard!

A quick search on the forum page using the term "Recaro bucket seats" gives plenty of results and probably all the answers you need.

Here is a recent thread worth reading:

Hey @E__drives send me an email, I just had a RECARO customer do something similar, I've got photos and information formatted and ready to go for you, talk to you soon!

love these OEM true-buckets by Recaro for my car...




AMG essentially re-upholstered them from PP (ABE) seats, but I'm pretty sure you can use the same brackets/rails/sliders and mount different Recaro buckets in there, just not the 205 ones because they're reclinable and not true-buckets like these.

Bucket seats help

The black series buckets look good but I want something different, I wouldn’t mind having the w205 buckets installed since I can still recline it, if that isn’t an option available I’m looking into a company called ( IG : Kevmannz_kevtec ) or I’d be happy with the new Recaro Podium bucket seats. If any of these three are possible please let me know, I truly want to build someone unique and I would prefer to stay away from the black series seats.
This is the podium seats I’d love to install if possible

The electronic control isn't a plug-and-play and won't work in the retro-fitment of those reclinable w205 sport seats (been posted here in the past), and don't fall for some IG-famous recycled-carbon gen-z gaming chairs (yea, that's what forged carbon is) lol

Stick with the Recaro Podiums out of those three choices.

Being unique is fine, make sure it is crash-tested/licensed and motorsport-proven like Recaro; and if it's just another model from Recaro, the bracket/slider/rail from the OEM 204BS buckets will work with seats from Recaro that aren't the same model, that was my point...

Placed an order with @Highline-Autos.com for a full Recaro kit for my E63. Haven't seen any W212's with this setup yet.

Keep us updated on the fitment and what you do for coding the airbags/seat sensors out. I plan to do the carbon pole positions for mine but given car modding a break for a while to do house modding 😄

Hopefully I can code it out with Xentry Pass Thru. I may upgrade to the carbon seats in the future, just want to make sure everything fits good before I drop the extra cash on the carbon ones.

Do it right the first time! Haha they are pricey so I get wanting to make sure they work. I'm probably going to go this route in the future as well so definitely let us know what you end up doing if you get the airbags/sensors to cooperate
