Today the problems started....................!
Warnings all over the place ( airbag, seatbelt, restraint system faulty etc. )
Had to bring it back to the dealer. They had forgotten to order , and install, a special harness ( that was supposed to come with the seats ).
This harness will replace the electronic modules in each seat ( for seat memory, elec. adjustments, airbags etc. ) and tell the car computer that there
are BMW Performance seats installed!
As they didn?t have the harnesses - they tried to solve the problem by reprogramming the whole car
Excellent decision - now my ECU tuning is gone
AND my Performance seats are uninstalled.......................... 
WTF.................................
