Manual seats to power & heated. E39

[Amsweld]

Hello,
I've just joined the club as I have just bought a 2000 e39 520i.
The wife didn't like the seats as they were not leather (dogs footprints etc).
I have not got the car yet, but I have bitten the bullet & bought some leather electric seats off eBay.(from vehicle of same year).
I read some where that the wires are there even if electric seats were not fitted originally.
I know this seems a daft question now, but I would be obliged if you can confirm this & what it entails to fit them.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Neil.

thats prob. correct if you look under the seat, maybe pull up a wee bit of carpet you can find out real quick youll know if they are there
