Frequently Asked Questions

It replaces worn or broken recline gears in BMW E36 320i, 325i, and M3 seats. The set restores smooth backrest adjustment and prevents slippage, ensuring safe and comfortable seating positions.

Does this kit fit all BMW models?

No, it is designed only for the E36 chassis, including 320i, 325i, and M3 sedans, coupes, and convertibles. It will not fit E30, E46, or newer BMW platforms due to mechanism differences.

Installation is moderate DIY level. It requires removing the seat, disassembling the recline mechanism, swapping gears, and reassembling. Most users complete it in under an hour with basic tools.

Is the material better than the original BMW gears?

Yes, these high-strength nylon gears are engineered to resist cracking better than aging OEM plastic. They maintain flexibility and durability under repeated use, reducing future failure risk.

Can I buy just one gear instead of a pair?
