I have been watching craigslist for a while but hadn't had any luck.
I think you did well there for $50!
I went to the Indianapolis Pull-a-Part / U-pick type places but never got lucky on the day, the BMWs I was picking over always had trashed interiors or stuff was already gone. 2 hour roundtrip each time got boring pretty quickly.
Anyhow they went in fine, and I remembered to disconnect the battery
after needing the fore/aft / height adjustment to get the bolts out, but
before disconnecting the electrical connectors.
But - I don't have the switch yet, so can't test the heaters.
And bigger BUT, the steering column won't adjust now. Completely unresponsive. I gather from other threads that this may be a sign of a damaged connector / harness at the connector to the seat. I will have to rummage around.

I believe the seats I got are heated, I just ordered a control panel with the heated seat switches and will let you know what happens.

Like you I shall wait and see if the heaters work when the switch arrives.. An I too had a manual adjustment passenger seat, but it's clearly all pre-wired for the electric adjustment.
