YumMum Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hello, I purchased a BMW 7 series 730 d 2003 recently and forgot to check if it had isofix (I asked my husband to do it but forgot). Thing is my 2 childrens car seats are isofix and they cost around £200 each so I was wondering if possible could I fit Isofix? My husband says there are like small metal circle behind the seats with a bolt in it so Im assuming that I can attach a bracket to these two and secure them with bolts? I'd really appreciate anyone that could help, for my kiddies safety. Many thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Not sure about retro fitting on the BMW's I think its possible but not sure if its recommended or not. BMW tend to put a slot in the seats and cover the fixings and tend to do a better job than most when ISOFIX is fitted its not just a simple loop. A quick google shows that some people have retrofit ISOFIX on various BMW's so it might be an idea to give the dealer a call and see what parts you might need. Welcome to Tyresmoke by the way am sure someone else will have a better idea than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YumMum Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 :grin:Many thanks, Ive contact BMW themselves and they are now looking for a chassis num so Ill get it and get on to them to see if it is possible. I had a look through the audi forum n someone had put pics up of the isofix bracket that they had fitted. Thought maybe mine would be as simple, obviously not!

YumMum Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Im no further forward, ive contacted my local BMW garage and they said my car is not compatiable tho I have double checked and I definately have the brackets in my car. Does anyone know where I could get the isofix kit and how I could fit it with the help or my useless husband!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi YumMum! There isn't a retrofit kit for the E65 7-series however get your dealer to check the following parts: These are parts which need bolting to chassis under the rear seats. Items: 25 & 26 41117054325 & 41117054326 Then there are other options which maybe required: RealOEM.com * BMW E65 730d Installation tool for ISOFIX child seats RealOEM.com * BMW E65 730d Child seat mount The parts are only cost a few Euro's so it maybe worth taking your back seat out to see if the bolt holes for part numbers: 41117054325 & 41117054326 are there, if so then it should be safe to do the installation if you get the torque seating for the bolts from BMW. Note, i'm not a BMW engineer and this is purely advise based on the part numbers above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
