Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and I've also bought my first ever BMW.

I now own a 320d E92 M-Sport on a 57 plate with only 42,000 miles on clock, which I purchased for £11,500 with alacantra interior.

I was after one with full red coral leather but the price for them was well over my budget.

So I did a bit of looking around and found it to be a lot cheaper to buy the car and purchase the full red seats, door cards etc separate.

Got a few questions to ask, any help or advice will be great.

How easy are the seats / door cards to swap?

The red seats are heated and are also memory seats. Will there be a cable / wiring underneath the alacantra seats to connect to the red ones to get the privileges?

Thanks

The cables would be under the carpets in the near vacinity, if not then you'll need the 1.5m loom and the mode switch-pack...

Another thing to bear in mind are the occupancy sensors in the actual seats, although they will have them there is no way of knowing if they are ok until plugged in !! With this in mind you may need to connect to the cars' OBDII to reset ;)

Thanks for the reply and helpful info.

What is the OBDII?

Thanks again

OBDII is the communication socket which connects to the various Engine/Vehicle management modules...

Look on Ebay for either a simple reset tool or OBDII (OBD2) software and lead ;)

Nice one, cheers. 👍

Our pleasure... If you want to buy one that connects via your laptop then don't be afraid to purchase the Chinese copy versions as they work just as well ;)
