Hi!

New to the forum, my first post. I was wondering if I can change the stock seats (heated) on a 2008 535xi Wagon to the multi-contour seats. Has anybody done this? What was the cost? Where would be a good place to look for used m-c seats?

Thanks!

Yep... how much money you got though.
The seats are Hella expensive to start, then install, and reprogram.

Found the following threads: https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=39866&hl=

Regards to money, as with everything there is a price point over which it's not worth doing it...

Welcome to the forums!

Please add your location, so that we know WHO we are talking to!

And no clue about the seats, other than to say that it is possible... if you pay enough.

I would look from breaker yards in Sweden, Germany or the UK. If you are from Finland, there is almost 0 chance to find what you are looking for.

OK, changed my profile Live in good ol' USA down South. So I am looking for US model advice, obviously.

By the way, Turku is my favorite Finnish town, used to study there back in the 80's....
