Gone

The seats are in good condition having a few scuffs and some ware on the driver’s side bolsters (see pics). All the electrics work, including driver’s side memory.

They are not from an accident-damaged car therefore they come complete with the seat belt pre-tensioners. I am selling them because I have swapped in M Sport seats.

Buyer would need to collect from Preston due to size and weight. They are available now.

Just a thought, before you stick em on ebay, take off the first aid kit and stick it under your drivers seat... The extra storage always comes in handy and it wont affect the price they sell for

Will these fit a 2003 e85?

Mine are from a facelift Z4 (2006 - onwards) so I don't think so.

Hopefully another forum member can give a definite answer on this?

yes they will physically fit.
Put it this way, my pre facelift 2005 now has 2007 M Sport Seats in, no issues. The mounts, wiring plugs etc are the same.
The only issue might be a the seat occupancy sensor on the passenger side but you can buy a bypass for that or make one yourself with bits from Maplin that cost pennies.

Thanks, I thought there was some issue - the occupancy sensor, cheers

They may actually fit without any occupancy mat issue.
I'm not sure if its just an issue going from early SE seats to late M Sports. Not sure if the later SE seats have the same occupancy mat as the earlier ones and if the control software is the same.
Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable on this can clarify

Am I reading this right,you managed to fit the M seats to your 2005 without the need for occupancy sensor,if you did fit a sensor ,which one did you use.
The reason for asking is I am about to do the same swop.

Yes I fooled my car into thinking the seat is permanently occupied using a resistor and a capacitor (google e46 passenger seat bypass for details). if you don't want to make one yourself there available on ebay for about a tenner. I then either use the passenger seat belt itself, or a seat belt clip I got off ebay to keep the seat belt warning quiet. Its a lot easier than the alternative!
