F30 seat swap

[Mudkicker]

I have a Luxury Line and was wondering if it would be possible to swap some Sport seats in? Would it be plug and play with the wiring and base?

I'm doing the same into mine, I already have my seats bought (saddle brown sports seats, incredibly hard to find). It's almost plug and play. The modules may have to be swapped over, and the seat motor positions would have to be calibrated. It would take diagnostics for that.

Now if the options don't match, then it's not plug and play at all.

Looking to do this myself.
Still on the hunt for a good set of sport seats that are reasonably priced.

Fellow Z3er, what cool car did you get? The seat swap isn't incredibly hard. LKQ has tons of them, and sometimes reasonably priced.


I bought the pair of these from a 2017 340ix with 28k miles. They're pristine. They were priced at under $300 each. Freight shipping from the Northeast and tax still had them under $900. Leather, fully auto, heated, memory, lumbar support.


A bit of leatherique cleaning:

They still have the brand new car smell.

I bought an F36. 428i coupe.
But, seats are fly and uncomfortable.
Want to try a set of sport style.

These are exactly what I need. I have regular seats in my car so I'm not sure if the wiring harness is the same?

Wiring harness is basically the same, but it really depends what current options your own car has, and what options the donor car has! That's what will make the difference.

Just missed a set from a breakers yard for $500.

Next time will be quicker

My leather seats have a recline function, back and front and up and down. I do not have a lumbar switch and I don't have side bolster switch. So I guess it will not be plug and play as the Sport Seats have more functions.
