Hi everyone,

I am a new owner of a 520d, of which I am very happy......but unfortunately the previous owner spec'd beige cloth interior which I'm just not a fan of. I would like to replace the complete interior with a leather one I have seen on eBay.

However, most of these seats are fully electric, whereas mine only has partially electric seats.

Can anyone tell me how easy it is to wire in the remaining electric functions of the seats, if it is possible at all.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Stephen

Hi
I have exactly same issue. I bought 2006 520d SE with basic semi electric seats. I have the same question as SSmith182. My problem is that I alredy bought a set of leather fully electric memory seats and non of the buttons work. Does the car needs extra wires, or just coding.
Any advise will be apreciated.
Thanks
Serg

Are they any good, did anybody tried this covers? I paid 400 GBP for mine and I thought the car is prewired, just plug and play, but I was wrong.
