Today I found a seat at a wreckers. It is a comfort seat, not sure what year it's from. HOWEVER, there are a few differences when compared to mine. 1) It does NOT have the power adjustable headrest, mine does. 2) It does NOT have the flap/pocket on the back of the backrest, mine does. 3) Headrests are a bit different. Mine has a 'swoop' at the bottom front. 4) You can also see that the top part of my seat is longer. Like the distance from the top 'stitch' to the top of seat is longer With that being said, do you think the plugs/harnesses will work if I directly swap the seat into my BMW? Will anything screw up? I took a picture of the harness at the wreckers so I could compare it with mine when I got home and for some reason my phone didn't save it (stupid technology). I can get the seat for $200. I don't think it will be a huge job to swap it out but I also don't want to waste $200 if the power / harnesses are different. Thoughts? First pictures is mine, second is wreckers Last edited by Bouchedag84; 11-03-2016 at 10:03 PM. |

When I first bought mine years and years ago, my left seat would burn my ass on the side bolster just because that's where the most wear naturally was. BMW quoted $4200

Yours looks like comfort seat and wrecker is base seat. I wouldn't buy it unless you get both so they match. Mine has same thing you are describing with getting really hot if I don't put it on lowest setting. I just leave like that and it doesn't bother me.

Depending on the year, the seat belt receptacle may have to be swap with the receptacle that is in you X right now. I believe the later cars use a seat belt receptacle that accepts a thinner seat belt insert. Had to swap out the receptacle when I installed comfort seats in my X. Check that the seat belt work before buckling (pun intended) everything up.

I found a set of comfort seats on Craigslist. Are you sitting down, paid $80 US for both seats.
No rips or cracks on the seat and the heating element works on both seat.

^^^^ oh my god you lucky sob.
I've found some more seats but they're out of town so including shipping would be about 500 for a single seat |

Here's a shot of my 80 bucks comfort seat.
[IMG][/IMG] You can also remove the base from the wrecker yard and use the seat back from your to make a useable seat.

Are all vehicles build for the US and Canadian market equiped with the OC3 airbag occupancy driver seat mat or was this a special option (or dependent on the year)? Saw this on ETK: the OC3 heater mat is available without the upholstery.

I'd like to know more about the seat mats as well as I have that problem as well with my E83. As far as I can tell OC3 is just a code for reworking the seat. It seams to apply to a lot of different models and I think could be about 3 different things. A replacement mat, some stiffeners to put on top, or a different seat module. Very confusing! Can anyone shed some more light on this ? Is the heater built into the occupancy sensor mat ?
