I have comfort seats in mine. If you have comfort seats (and I think drivers and passenger are the same cover), you can have my passenger one. The drivers has a small hole in it where an ass*(le friend burnt it. Check the part numbers but I think they are the same. My passenger one is damn near perfect.

Found them here: www.bmminiparts.com - Home Note that they charge VAT by default but they apply that to the shipping instead.

Nice folks.

Second key remote didn't work... After taking a part the key it was a simple fix. As the board was out, battery was replaced as well.

Both my keys needed solder reflowed. I replaced one battery mostly just because I ordered in case I needed.

I lost my main key on a road trip been using my backup key since and the remote no longer works.

I have a new diamond key ordered and a valet key as well so I can hide a key.

Once I have my new keys I will take apart my current key and reflow the solder joints and should have a backup remote key.

Today I installed the new Depo headlights with angel eyes (though I will wire the AE on tomorrow as I need to further review the wiring), I also installed new tail light assemblies (Euro Style) as mine were starting to oxidize and the right rear has the defect presenting itself (and I didn't feel like soldering it).

If anyone wants a free set of Xenon headlights and a set of tail lights for E53 prefacelift...message me and their yours for the shipping cost.

I wired my AE to the heater power for the pre cat O2 sensor. Used a local ground near the right headlamp. I ran a pair of wires over to the left headlights over the radiator
