    Restoring my E46 330CI - update

    Well the restoration is moving forward. I up against an issue with my passenger seat. The back won't adjust. The replacement part is very expensive per my mechanic. He suggested that I find a new seat. I have been looking. But I am having trouble finding a heated version. I am wondering if I should just give up and get an electric version without heating?

    What do do you Think?

    Entirely up to you, if you can find one, either way. I didn't think Baton Rouge might get so cold, but again, up to you.

    Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to add value to these threads, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person with the same or similar problem stands on your shoulders.

    I would buy a cheap seat, rob the back adjustment motor from it and replace the bad one in your passenger seat.

    +1 on transferring the part you need into your heated seat.
