Symptoms of fault
Seats rocking or sliding forwards and back as you accelerate and brake. Wobbling or excessive movement. This is a very common fault with all Z3 models.
The problem
The seat rail bushings wear; causing excessive seat movement.
The poor quality rubber bushes within the seats sub frame tracks wear, perish or completely disintegrate and ultimately fail causing excess movement in the rails. This causes the symptoms noted above. This is a very common fault with all Z3 models. OEM replacement bushes if fitted would just fail again as these are also made from a poor quality rubber not suited to the application.
Vehicles affected
All Z3 models
Z3 E36 E37 E38 1994-2002 Roadster and Coupe.
Z3M M Roadster M Coupe

Great instruction with a ladies voice which is clear and concise and easy to listen to. Wonderful, no background music that obliterates the instructional words on other sites.
Hi there, that's for the great feedback! - Georgina, X8R Ltd
May the UK be blessed forevermore for having such shrewd people
4hrs of work, $12 of parts and you are done. BMW -> $900 USD just to do this. "skilled" technicians
@@pinkeye00 4 hrs? Took me 30 minutes per seat
Thanks for the video. Had this issue with my '99 M Roadster, no more! One thing to emphasize, make sure you keep the rails exactly as they are on each seat. I mistakenly put the left rail on the right track and vice versa on my driver seat and it caused the seat to move the opposite direction of the switch!
Just did these on a 1999 Z3 2.8, perfect instructions, parts were exact, and no more wiggle!
Great work!
Good video. Thanks! Because the original bushings were completely dissolved to goo, the unthreading count was 2 turns less than the re-threading turn count. With the seat in the full rearward position during removal, both carriers were 7 turns to remove, but 9 turns to reinstall. Also, the receiver "key" at the tip of the assembly that sleeves with the drive rod is square and it is helpful to pre-align the threaded rod to match the drive rod orientation.
Helpful video. Using your bushings I was able to fix the driver seat shimmy in about 30 minutes.
Thanks for the instructions. Did not used a vice, hammered them down, once sanded to fit.
Thank You for the video. My brother and I repaired my seats. You made it easier.
Best video on here showing this procedure!
Thanks for the video and the bushings. Drivers seat is completed.
thank you for this video. I shall be trying this tomorrow
Superb video in every way
Great video thank's, Just one of the sliders has an L on it should go on the left side of the seat otherwise the electrical command will be inverted and as stated below do not screw tight the 2 x T25 Torx screws on the sliders, to much friction will block the rail track.
Brilliant Video!!!!
Why not wrap a piece of tape or a dab of paint on thread area as a marker instead of counting turns? Though I find it odd that you're paying around $20 for a set of plastic washers that you still have to sand down to fit properly. They should be the proper thickness in the first place.
Thank you soooo very much. Great video and super helpful.
Better than counting turns is to measure the length from one end to place where goes bushings.
4:58 :eyes: Thanks for video!
I am having trouble with the inside rear bolt. I don't have enough room to apply the pressure I need to unbolt it.
Thank you so much
thanks for the video

Do you have a DYI video on how to replace complete right side seat belt for 1998 BMW Z3?
are there kits for sale to replace the mechanism itself?
does this apply to e39 5 series seats as well??
We have not tried it on that vehicle therefore cannot confirm if it fits. - Georgina, X8R Ltd
Hi, does anyone have a tip where to buy the Reparation Kit? I love dearly my Z3 1999, but it dumped the annual check today.
eBay X8R advertise there. Under£15 for 8.
I have a problem, I must have been wrong to count the number of turns, so now I try to place the seat but it is displaced from the chassis bolts.
How can i fix this?
4 years. But I have the same issue do you remember how did you fix it ?
mmmm thread lock ... blue thread lock
Hi X8R, I've bought your bushings and followed the video instructions, but I have an issue when it comes tightening the 2 x T25 Torx screws on the sliders. When I tighten them they power seat motor goes under a lot of stress, however when they are loose or not on at all the motor works fine.
The new bushings have been aligned correctly, and just comes to question is this why the original part is rubber to compensate for the "wiggle" in the tracks? Any feedback is appreciated so I can have it secured in my car.
Might have the thread count wrong vs the other rail and it's binding. I find it better to measure with a tape or ruler before disassembly instead of counting threads
Hi man
Your comment about tighten the 2 x T25 torx screws help me to find and solve the issue about the stress that I have in seats motor. I find that I had pushed a lot deeper than the ideal this metal thing with the bushes inside. And the hole was not exactly in the center. That causes this problem and in my opinion is dangerous to burn the motor.
If anyone wants to test the seat rail movement before place it in the car can do this by connecting a 12V battery directly to the motor's plug. And for removing to the other side just change the polarity in battery
I have a BMW Z3 with the same probem. One more question: Is there some special procedures to disconect and reconect the electrical plugs? Thanks a lot for the video!
nothing special just push down on plastic locking pieces on plug before pulling
