Anyone else?
I emailed BMW Canada. They just told me to take it to a dealership. Called dealership, they have no TSAs or warrenty / recalls etc on it. So sounds like I'm shit out of luck. They said to bring it in for a diagnostic, at $149/hour. Damn it. What do I do now?! |

guys
i found the bottom part of the seat here https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E53-X5...eats/ES262599/ but is it possible to just have that part replaced? or at least unplug the bottom heater? |

A wild guesstimate. You're looking at least 3+ billable hrs from a upholstery shop.
Good ones ain't cheap - it's just as bad $$ as going to a dealer. It is what it is. Good luck. Are ya'll doing the ~stepover~ over the bolster. Mine at 110-120K was still just fine... |

I am researching the hell out of this. It seems like some places say the heated element is attached to the bottom foam/assembly itself while others are saying it's integrated into the leather. I don't need the backrest area fixed, just the butt part. I just want to fix this and sell it so I can leave the country

The back needs to come off in order to access the seat bottom
You got hog rings to deal with, etc, etc. Just sell it as is. Either DIY but any decent upholstery shop worth their bacon aint cheap |

You can replace the seat heater pad with an aftermarket one. I did mine, didn't cost much but it is not an easy job.

That is a bit pricey but it looks like an improvement on the original design which is nice to see Trouble with buying a used seat is your back to same situation.
