2/4-series seats in 135i?

vinylengraver · 05-08-2018, 11:51 AM

After driving an M235i and an M240i I decided I want those seats!
Any chances someone has done a swap and/or has any info on compatibility with a 1 series?
I'm mostly concerned with any electrical connectors being different.
Ideally I would like to find them in manual and heated variety so any rewiring is kept to a minimum.

An interesting question...

I can't imagine BMW has changed the connectors too much over one generation, and almost zero SRS system changes have happened...

Sadly it isnt plug and play. I asked the guy and he said you have to completely rewire the seats but if you know someone who can code bmws then you have other options.

This 135 is a euro spec if that makes any difference.

Turns out you have to completely rewire the whole seat but the guy said if you know a guy who can code bmws then there are other options.
