The system (including the lumbar bags) is the same as on the L322 Range Rover, if it makes finding the loom and switches easier/cheaper! It's where I got mine from when I fitted this to my E46 years ago
What have you done to your car today?

They are indeed the same (and for E83, E53 and more I believe). I think in the UK the L322 ones are priced cheaper, whereas on the continent the BMW ones are better priced. I paid 100 eur for the full set for two seats; bags, pumps, hoses, cables, switches.
Just be aware that the 12v feed plug is different between the manual and electric adjustable seats, but a relatively easy swap. About 5 eur for the plugs if you have the patience to wait for an Ali shipment, and 10 eur on Amazon for next day. And you need a 25 eur crimp tool to attach the plugs.

Hace algún tiempo vi un diseño para un soporte de teléfono que se acopla a través de la ranura del CD, pero lamentablemente no pudo conseguir ni el dispositivo ni el archivo de impresión (agradecería cualquier ayuda si alguien sabe dónde encontrarlo).
Decidí intentar copiarlo y, aunque el acabado no es precisamente de primera calidad, al menos consiguió crear un soporte ligero y compacto para la ranura del CD.

En realidad no lo hice hoy, pero la semana pasada le hice un par de modificaciones muy sencillas a mi coche. La primera fue la funda del volante, que casi todo el mundo instala. Para ser sincero, solo tuve que quitar el volante; mi mujer se encargó de coserlo; suele tener paciencia cuando le conviene (y solo cuando le conviene). El acabado es impecable y le da un poco más de grosor al volante, lo cual me gusta mucho.
También aproveché para cambiar el pomo de la palanca de cambios por uno de imitación de cuero, un poco más corto que el original; Ahora el coche se maneja de maravilla.
Y una cosita más: no estaba seguro de si se podía quitar el mando de la radio —y no me atreví a intentarlo—, así que simplemente le pegué una pequeña pieza de moldura de un Saab 93 abandonado. Sorprendentemente, parece bastante OEM.

And they will quickly rip up the edge of the trim too
I had the exactly the same taking me e86 on the Portsmouth to Bilbao crossing.I have taken my Zed to France for its holidays and I was tickled by the security at Portsmouth Ferry Docks which insisted on searching under the bonnet, in the cabin and in the boot. I assume that they were searching for illegal immigrants trying to leave the UK because they found that it is actually better to be living in a French camp than in the UK, but goodness knows where security thought a stowaway would be in a Zed full of luggage!
The wipers don’t actually touch the trim, windscreen is to curved, I hate seeing them unless they are working. I have only had the car 6 months maybe the wipers are wrong.
Still they don't reach the top position, meaning there will be more unwiped surface on the windshield.

Jacked up my Z4 for the first time, to start sorting out a wheel speed sensor error. (Spoiler alert: 23 year old retaining bolts need penetrating fluid, arriving tomorrow!)
I noticed once lowered that the sill where I just jacked up is slightly separated from the wheel arch liner, on the other side it sits flush. When raising the car I took it slow and steady, proper Z4 oblong saddle, no weird noises etc and maybe it's just been like that for years... or did I just bend my car?!

Well we tried to tell you!
Set them so they sit on the glass, as per design.
Had the wheels (well, two of 'em off) and took rear arch liner off to check inside - all good. Cleaned it all up - my OCD is happy.
Bad news is that my M Sport spec car has Monroe budget shockers and the springs look like they've been dredged up from Titanic.
Also had a go at re-conditioning steering wheel - partially successful in that it's better but I was a bit too cautious with the sandpaper so another go is required. Also started the thankless task of getting rid of the sticky shite on the buttons.
Finally, had a go at sorting sightly rusty slam panel (well, the bit around the slam panel cover) - not happy. Suspect I need a new one but that can come later - doesn't look too difficult to fit (he says!)

Mine had the same (on the right hand side). Don't know if it was like that when I bought it or not. Can't seem to 'click' it in again. No biggie, so just leaving it.noticed once lowered that the sill where I just jacked up is slightly separated from the wheel arch liner, on the other side it sits flush.

Don't think the jacking point is connected to the sill trim piece so can't imagine that jacking it up can do anything.
Added subs behind the seats along with a Pioneer amp to drive them. Already fitted drive units in the doors so a fair improvement over the original 6 speaker set up.
Also removed the rear bumper off of my mates Ferrari so we could replace the rear exhaust silencers. Can’t seem to load pics for some reason.
