Does your seat "rock" and I mean move slightly at stops and starts in certain positions? Mine will rock if the base is set level or actually any position other than with the front ebge tilted all the way upward giving me a kind of Appollo Moon Launch sit.. I had the Seat out once when getting new floor board welded in and tried tightening any and all exposed nuts but nothing changed..

I actually need the same damn harness. I've got the sport seats in my car and had to manually jump the driver's seat to get it into the right position.

You may be in luck 750iL. But I won't know for a little while yet. I just bought some sport seats that came with harnesses as the original person needed them to fit an older model 5 without memory seats. But I have memory seats so I may not need the harness (es). I believe I even got 2 extra harnesses but I don't know what the difference is yet between them and whether I will need them in my car. Will pull the harnesses out of the box and also try to validate whether I need them or not as soon as possible and let you know.

i have a complete post march 93 harness and memory cmoputer part number 8 356 510. i might need to cut the leg bolster plug and harness out if i can't get the lumbar circuit to power it. I got everything else to work when i swap to the old styel harness fomr my old regular seat and memory control unit. Here are pics pm me with an offer and maybe we can work something out

Sorry to say the 2 harnesses I have left over don't look identical to yours that I can see.. there is a black one in the top of your pic that looks like an 8 or 10 pin plug that I don't see in mine. :( Here they are anyways in case you see one you think might fit. I have no idea what they came from so I can't comment and what they work with.
Harness 1: (I think this is the body-side harness)

Harness 2: (this is a seat harness.. but I don't know from what year or car)

If you buy the #1 (body) harness and its not what you need and you cover roundtrip shipping I will refund the cost paid of the harness. I can do $35 shipped expecting that $30 is the cost of the harness (and what would get refunded to you if you send it back intact). If it doesn't work out you ship it back to me at your cost and I refund you $30.

A standard seat harness will bypass the memory module and work just fine on memory seats - the only thing that you have to run a new circuit to is the thigh support switch.

Pics of the connectors on your seat? Harness #1 looks like the one I'm using for the sports in my 95 Touring. I don't have either of the mirror harnesses or the steering column harness plugged in. Also, I think the plug with the brown, orange and yellow wires is the only one of those two or three together that I have plugged in to the module under the seat.

I converted my memory sport seat to a non-memory configuration by using a harness from a trashed non-memory sport seat. You could also do this with a standard comfort seat harness. You would just have to figure out how to do your own wiring for the thigh extension motor. Non memory comfort seats are a dime a dozen. I may even have a working harness or two if you want to go that route.
I took me several hours to figure out how to do this and I might be able to post some pictures if you want to know the details. PM me if you want to know more.

Any idea if the E32 comfort w/lumbar shares the same harness? Can have mine for like 10 bucks if it's the same.
