F60 Looking for seat recommendations or replacements for my F60 JCW
Looking for seat recommendations or replacements for my F60 JCW
This is a process that's been going on for years so I'm going to give you guys the highlight reel.
6'5" driver here.....
I owned an F60(Called All4 for this story) prior to buying my F60 JCW. I fit in it wonderfully with no issues. Unfortunately, it met it's demise with a broadside hit and run and was totaled. Prior to buying my JCW, I test-drove a manual that had Non-JCW seats, again perfect.
I have two issues with my stock JCW seats that have left me with the answer of getting rid of the seats:
1) The seat pad is significantly higher in the JCW than my previous All4 due to the cubby under the seat which pushes my eye line a little too high.
2) The fixed headrest is nowhere near where it needs to be to properly mitigate my head in a crash
So here's what I've arrived at. I am confident the ALL4 seats will "bolt right up" to the JCW and I'm decently comfortable with the understanding of how the airbag works in these cars that the airbag from the All4 will play nicely with the JCW's system.
This has left me with a singular issue: I CAN'T FIND THESE DANG SEATS ANYWHERE!!
I have called and inquired about a replacement seat(using the All4's vin) from the dealer and I have gotten exactly zero. I have called the two dealers in Socal and five in the Bay Area and they tell me(the two that returned the call) that to buy a seat they would have to buy every single part and assemble a seat(pretty sure this is a lie).
Does anybody have some direction on where or who I can contact to buy stock seats for the F60?

I don't know where it went after the insurance took it, unfortunately. I tracked it to a Copart auction but I can't find where it went after it was sold at auction.
car-parts.com is a search place for used parts/cars. Hard to find the rare JCWs.

No. I'd need to add that and the electronics.
