Interior/Exterior Will R56 JCW Bucket Seats fit a R53?
#7
Will fit with no problem at all. All the parts you need comes with the kit.
I ordered the kit via BMW. The only thing you need to sort out is the plug
for the air bags. The dealer told me all they did to sort that out, they used my
old plug and cut the new one from the R56 seats.
By the way, the dealer always told me they would not fit. Then got help
from a Mini site (sorry forgot the exact details of the site, but was to do
with MINIMODS), gave the site details to the dealer and went ahead
with the mod...not cheap but the mod is a killer.

Plenty pictures and information on this site www.modnmini.com
I think you may have to register to login.
Got all the information I needed to do the mod from them, very helful.
Some information :
The seats I got are the JCW Recaro for the R56 and fitted them on my R53.
They are not cheap and the final price depends on your dealer.
They came with airbags and heating if you want to connect this.
The seats have the JCW logo and Recaro embossed as per pictures.
Modnmin are in the UK and do the above mod at about 50% cheaper then
any dealer, for you lucky guys in the UK
I am from South Africa but the exact same seats are available at any Mini
dealer worldwide as JCW items you can purchase for your R56.
When you order the seats you get all the parts necessary to be able to
install them even on the R53. Visited the dealer a few times during the
installation and it did not look that hard. Basically you remove your
seats and the JCW come with rails and they bolt on the existing holes.
The only thing you have to change is the airbag plug. Cut the new one
and solder your old one to the new seats. Honestly that easy, the hard
part is when you have to pay for the JCW seats...it hurts for awhile.
The dealer said it could not be done until I showed them the pictures and
info Modnmini gave me.
Hope this helps.
