Hello everyone,

I just bought a leather sport interior for my 525d touring, i can save my self about 400$ if i place on my own. But i don't now how to, so my question to you is if you have got a sort of manual how to remove the old front and rear seats.

(Btw the old front chairs are semi electrical, the new ones are to)

Help would be really appreciated

Ron

Hi,

Where did you bought your interior? And how much it costs?

make sure you check the German forums when you look for stuff like that! Lot's of good supply and often good prices. 1700 sounds like a lot but it depends of course on quality and completeness of the set.

installing is work but not impossible, check TIS (the cd with the parts and the exploded-view pictures) for help in installation. I had an online version but lost the link unfortunately. However, older versions can also be downloaded through the usual p2p channels.
