installed E46 sport seats into the X last night! *pics added*

Very cool! Those seats look to be in excellent condition. Love the old M steering wheel as well......I had it on my E36.

That looks great! I really want sport seats, but I would rather have the auto memory function that my seats have. This could be a great combo of both! Do you know if those e46 seats would fit in my X3?

Very nice, only bad part is the leather doesn't match the rest of the back seat leather in the car.

.

You should have disconnected your battery before unplugging the seat harness !This way the airbag light wouldnt come on.Now,you have to make a trip to dealer to turn-off the light on the DIS machine.Only a 5 minutes job and wait.

They look great, man - nice job!
They look very similar to the X5 sport seats, but I imagine their a little more 'snug' (?)

The leather matches the rear and is nearly the same grain pattern. These seats are all black, where as the X's seats had charcoal gray patches on the sides. Colorwise, I much prefer these seats over the previous seats. Yes, my airbag light is still on, I will have a friend with a snap on diagnostic computer turn it off for me.

From looking at part numbers, I believe these seats will fit an X3 and plug in, you will have to change out the side pieces and the one harness for the drivers seat though, just like in the X5.

If anyone needs any help they can PM or call me, it is a very easy job if you know what you're doing. If I had prior experience this would have been an hour and half job.
