Bluetooth without preparation retrofit and Comfort seats add on.
Two unbelievable hard modifications today.
My baby has been operated by three electricians.
Bmw dealers told me that there is no way to retrofite comfort seats on E60 520i.
Bmw Germany does not include comfort seats as retrofit for E60 520i in their catalogues.
Today we did it !
Here are some pictures of the modification by my mobile phone.

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
Its a hard sight to look at. I would have left the car in its original state, the hell with the mods.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I wish you luck; I suspect you are going to gain a lot more than just those two mods (squeeks, rattles, electrical glitches, to name a few). 
Cheers,

The car is now re assembled and all parts are working fine except the seat heaters, but on Monday they will be fixed.
