Occupancy mat (help/advise)

[jonnyfive]

Ok people just bought some post face lift M-sport seats to go in my 03 zed, i don't really want to go down the bypass box route or cannibalise my existing seats for the mat.
So can anyone advise me where i can get a pre-facelift occupancy mat or the part number to fit the M-sport seats and also how much cost it will be?
Cheers in advance

jonny, I am sure left98204 did buy a separate mat from Soper (?) and I believe he said it was about £120, might be wrong but worth contacting him or just call Jamie @ Soper and ask.

I pondered on this when I discovered the issue about the occupancy sensor. Real OEM lists two part numbers for the pre-facelift occupancy sensor, they are 65776927892 & 65776927893. I think the one for a sports seat is part number 65776927893, but it would be best to check with BMW prior to ordering! They both cost £112.20 from Cooper BMW.

If you need to check the prices of parts this is a handy page to use http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for pointing that out!

How much (approx) did you pay for the seats...if you don't mind my asking?

Or you could just do as I did and buy a third set of Z4 seats and cannabalise the occupancy mat from them

Actually, being serious for a moment that might not be a bad idea given how much standard seats sell for. Might be close to the cost of a single brand new occupancy sensor mat. I ended up with 3 sets of seats as I've got a set fitted in my VW camper: as I obviously didn't need the occupancy mat in that set, I stripped it out to use when I fitted my post-facelift M seats into my pre-facelift.

I could just use the matt out of my seats but i dont want to ruin them as i want to sell them on as there are heated and electric .I might just go down the route of the bypass box now, 95% of the time its only me in the car and i just carnt wait to get the seats in.

leeM3 i paid between 800 and 900 but i also got the M- door cards with them to so a nice little bonus.

The M-door cards turned out to be the extended leather ones
