Change To Leather & Electric Seats.

[Amsweld]

Hello,

I've just joined the club as I have just bought a 2000 e39 520i.

The wife didn't like the seats as they were not leather (dogs footprints etc).

I have not got the car yet, but I have bitten the bullet & bought some leather electric seats off eBay.

I read some where that the wires are there even if electric seats were not fitted originally.

I know this seems a daft question now, but I would be obliged if you can confirm this & what it entails to fit them.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Neil.

Hi I cannot speak specifically for the E39 but I did this on a 93 530 v8 touring, the wires are under the mat, you just plug in and go the seats should bolt straight in no problems, the only thing you might need to do is add or upgrade a fuse to cover the extra load on a multiple circuit, hope this helps yelgdip
