Not M5 seats. Something better I think.

The M5 seats are too hard to find.


Gonna retrofit my own! I hope!!

Going to be adding a couple controllers, seat back motors, the switches, and will have to make cable harness for eash seat.

I'll start with taking out my passenger seat this weekend and see what wiring might already be in place.

It will be very cool!
I also want to put the active side supports.
This will be the following after installing steering wheel paddles with DCT shifter

Not going to take my seat out this weekend. Got a spot in a driving school at Gingerman.


About these Active Backrests - has anyone seen these in anything other than an M5?
