Been following yours DIY for several years, and I'm not surprised that when I look for any e39 tutorial, u have a video of how to do it 10/10 Thank you from Spain. Muchas gracias siempre me ayudas a conservar mi e39
ATTENTION : Do not unplug the electrical connector to the seat until you have disconnected the negative terminal of the battery for at least ten minutes. Otherwise you will get an airbag light when you start the car. It has to do with the seat pressure sensor that detects if the seat is occupied or not in a crash and to deploy the airbag. Passenger side in particular. Also the small Torx is a 30, not a 27.
I'm about to remove some 7 series electric/ heated seats to put in my Landrover Defender, really appreciate the video, I now know what tools to take with me, I've realised I also need to take a 12v battery pack to power the seats for access. Wouldn't have thought of that without your video, Thank you very much. Dave
This video was very helpful. Very detailed and made my job of removing and re installing a new seat in my BMW Alpina very easy. I am not a mechanic but today I was. Thank you for your video
Thank you so much you not much trouble you save me switching over the interior in a 740 I and I didn't realize it was that easy so whatever you're doing keep doing it cause I definitely appreciate it I love how you detail things makes it very easy to understand
Thank you for watching our channel. Hope you have already subscribed to it. We appreciate your feedback. Feel free to share our channel with anyone that could benefit from it.
Patience is really important for me bc I break things really easily. But finally got to the cable now I need to get on fire and trim the cable it wasn't even connected
Great Question. You need to locate the seat motors that move the seat back wards and forward. Cut both wires,splice them and provide manual power. Search our videos and sear for "seat' we have a seat diagram that shows this process. Thanks
ok here is my prob the seat is all the way to the front and it wont move at all and I have looked at the seat motor and there is no cable that I can see just 3 wires that's it. How would I go about trying to move the seat with a motor that has no cable? I am at a lost right now
idontknowyou sorry Check this video out, it gives you a better diagram of what motor controls what in the front seats. ruclips.net/video/ruJnghmO5K4/видео.html
thank you for the link .. not what i was looking for 100% but i think i can make it work i would give this a try once i can get the time off to do so :)
Hi guys dose anyone know if I am able to get the comfort seats instead of the stock seats. I have 2007 525i. I want thicker and firmer seats instead. Anyone know if I can????
localpeople Most seats are interchangeable. As long as the connections are the same, you can install sport seats on bmw with comfort seats and vice versa.
I came across a problem earlier this week. while vacuuming the driver side I pushed my seat all the way forward now I have no power completely to the seat or the steering wheel tilt options .. maybe a blown fuse? any ideas anyone?
+Juan Valdez My first guess is a connector came off. A quick google found this: www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1810614-Problem-with-power-seat-and-adjustable-steering-wheel Bimmerforums.com is a great place to ask questions because there's usually someone else who has had the same exact problem and knows the fix.
Please clean your car. Your viewers would appreciate it and it makes you look better. Make a video on "How to clean and detail your car and keep it that way". Should be your next video. Now GO CLEAN THAT PIG PEN!! LOL Thanx for the info. PS--Don't take it the wrong way because your car is cleaner than some videos on RUclips. A clean car goes faster !!
Car Guy Thanks for pointing that out. Will take that in consideration. Spend time vacuuming and cleaning interior of car that is being stripped and on its way to metal recycler or focus on the DIY Process?
bimmermerchant No, please clean the car, without a clean car viewers cannot follow along, especially a filthy car like this one! . . . . jeepers some people huh? Keep up the great work ;)

How do you change seats on a BMW 745Li 2002
Patience is really important for me bc I break things really easily. But finally got to the cable now I need to get on fire and trim the cable it wasn't even connected
How do you take out the seats if the motor is broken and unable to move them forward or backward?
very difficult to remove at that point.
You would need to cut the vertical metal brackets.
Very useful, detailed and informative video. Thanks
Are all the seats the same ... like can I use a 5 series seat in a 7 series
yes, e39 5-series and e38 740 seats are interchangeable
Well done - short and hits all the key points. Thanks.
Thank you.

How do you remove the seats from a 525i without power to the car? Im doing a restore project on a E34 1989 525i.
