Hi all, I have a E60 530D with Standard leather seats the only electrics it has is tilt, up and Down I am thinking of buying some sports seats that are fully manual exept for a button on the fron side (please see picture) does anyone know how easy it will be?

I would also like to know if the seat frames are the same. as I could swap the seat covering if they are.
Any help would be great thanks
in advance guys

Many people have swapped seats and I have not heard anyone say the frame doesn't fit. They run into a whole load of electrical issues (which take time to resolve) but you didn't ask that.

Thanks for the reply.
What i'm thinking about is transffering the padding and covers from the sport seats to my standard seat frames if they are the same.
Also do you know if the electrics on the sport seats are for the side supports?

thanks
