Easy to install and gives a bit of recline
If you don't like to recline this may not be for you, but I found that I liked the extra two inches. Less than an airplane seat, but still nice. I'm 6' and it made the seat a bit more comfortable.

Makes bad seats great. Literal automotive miracle!
The non-sport seats in the BMW Z3 have to be some of the worst seats ever to be approved by a design lead, engineering team, and project manager EVER. I cannot fathom how a company like BMW made the decision to include seats so uncomfortable you wish you were sitting on the floor instead. That being said, this seat tilt kit takes these horrendous seats and makes them comfortable, inviting, and protecting. The adjusted position from using this kit means I am no longer sliding all the way out of the car on sharp turns. Back pain and leg fatigue are gone as well. This is how the seats in a roadster are supposed to feel. Would highly recommend to anyone with the standard Z3 seats. Should have come from the factory with this kit installed.

Did what it said it would do.
I was tempted to dig thru the bins at my local hardware store and make my own kit but the price on this wasn’t that bad.

One broken inside two weeks by removing seat...
What quality are these bolts? I removed one seat after the installation to run a wire and found one bolt was snapped! No idea what I did to break it. What will happen in an actual accident??!? Now I am scared to drive with them installed.

Worth every dollar
If you have a BMW Z3 and don't have this kit, YOU are doing something wrong. My back can last through hours of driving now compared to before. 30-40 minute stints in the seat would result in stabbing pains. It works by elevating the front of the seat that way your legs can support your body since the Z3 was lacking separate front and rear seat tilt motors. Incredible buy, super cheap, stupid easy to install. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR.

Simple installation with big benefits
The seat bottoms on the BMW Z3 are too flat. This kit adds tilt to the seat bottom by raising the front edge ~1". Very simple installation, with instructions available on Thayer Motorsports website. Reaching the seat rear bolts with enough leverage to loosen was the only small challenge.Highly recommended, low cost modification.

Off Road Use Only!
I just finished installing the seat mod tilt kit on the driver side of my z3. I will do the passenger side tomorrow. The seat is really comfortable just as everyone stated. However, I was surprised that the plastic bag containing the hardware had a big red warning sticker that said "For Off Road Use Only!" I suppose this helps protect the seller from a lawsuit in case of an accident. It would have been nice to know that before purchasing as none of the advertisement indicated such. But I do like the mod!
