Seat upgrade
Dear all,
My name is Rolf and I’m new to this beautiful forum. I tend to buy a 520i G31 tomorrow but it’s not the most luxureous one. For my use (and budget) its more than enough but I really don’t like the fact that it doesnt even have heated seats. I would like to explore the option to retrofit a comfort seat interior but I dont know if it is possible with the existing wiring. The memory part of the comfort seat is operated in the door but I don’t know if the door is pre-installed with wiring for the memory function. The button for the heated seats is not present but I would like to make use of the situation to upgrade with the G11 touchscreen climatecontrol unit. Thanks in advance for the help! |

By the time you source all the parts, modules, and get the coding figured out it will probably be cheaper to buy a car with the interior features you want.

It is not possible, sadly. Until very recently, I was in a G30 m Sport with the M seats. They wound up wreaking havoc on my shoulders so I attempted to get anyone to switch them out for the multi-contour seats. I was repeatedly told it wasn’t possible due to the size, slide track, wiring, and safety feature locations (belt, bags, etc.). Couldn’t even get a custom shop to take it on. That’s why I sold it and am now between personal vehicles.

Hi Roffel,
These guys do the retrofit in Germany. https://hi-in.facebook.com/bimmer24....11280259133695 |

Made contact but charged 1100 euro (1200 dollar) for just the installation. I’ve read something that I have to pull 2 additional wires to the BDC. Anyone familiair with that? |
