Any chance of giving a coat breakdown - it may be a future mod.

Also, does this mean you can now retrofit electric folding M5 mirrors? And did you have any sat nav beforehand?
The mirrors an navigation where fitted before, on previous projects.

the mod you can actuall do yourself ive done a few of theses upgrading to proff nav is not a problem if you already have business nav coding isnt really required. The seats yoiu have to buy the module (as he has pictured) and then build the loom (again if you know what your doing its not hard) the seats do have to be coded otherwsie your airbag light will stay on :-)

The retrofit for the Professional Navigation is straight forward. All the hard part is the re-coding of the vehicle. I recommend CARTRONICS in Byfleet, Surrey. They can code all retrofits to BMW's and MINIs.

The seats where the same, it require looms to made up to connect them to the car itself and re-coding the car. (This lets the car know you have M5 sport active seats)

Where do you even find seats to buy? I would love to have comfort seats in my car, or even just find some basic seats that are heated, but I never see any for sale anywhere...

good old ebay is where i got mine, i was extremely fortunate too as i'd spotted them 3 days before they ended but didnt have a bid as i thought they were overpriced, then they got relisted at a more realistic price, but i hesitated and didnt bid again, only to go back and see they'd been snapped up 3 days later.
then a week or 2 later i was looking again, and they were back up as the sale had fallen through, and seen as how they were local to me, i made an offer and got them,seller was a genuine top bloke who'd added a few bits to his car then sold it before fitting the seats. so no going back now!!
