dexterdpc It’s actually only four bolts per seat, and one connection harness! Leave the battery connected, to allow you to move the seat forward and back to access the four bolts holding each seat down. Before you disconnect the wiring harnesses, disconnect the battery. I believe this helps avoid seat restraint faults being recorded. Swap the seat belt clips if needed. Happy to help with any questions you have.
@@LenartoGarage I am waiting for my f80 seats to arrive. Did you need to do any coding? Or coding is only required to remove the seat restraint error notification (if battery was not disconnected)?
Really good video thanks! Do the m3 seats fit lower than the stock ones? Ie the driving position can be lower to the ground? I have an f30 and one of the few complaints I have (similar to the e90 m3 I was lucky to own) is that the driving position is too high. If this mod fixes that I’ll do it! Many thanks
It’s tough for me to remember the stock height, but I believe the m3 seats do sit lower than the stock f30 seats. I have an e93 m3, and the lowest seat setting does feel too high.
I did not have to do any coding. I did swap the modules from the old seats to the new seats. I had to clear the trouble codes from “all modules” using BlueDriver after the install.
@@LenartoGarage did you swap both modules? Or just one bc.y drivers seat has a white box and my passenger seat only has a black tiny box so I don't know how the white box is going to fit under the passenger seat
Hey, I saw your comment about rue timing chain issue that was posted on F30 a while back. Wondering if you ever got to do the timing chain guide yourself and recorded it?
Did you manage to light up the seat emblem (pin7)? Also how did you remove the driver and passenger seat restraints airbag faults Also did the passenger side electric seats turn opposite? Press up it goes down and press down it goes up? Did that happen to you and how did you sort it Thank You
Jay Ali I didn’t attempt to get the seat emblem to light up yet. I was able to clear the faults by using BlueDriver Bluetooth OBD2 reader and clearing all modules. All of the controls worked as expected, nothing was backwards.
Hellow That just look amazing I just did something similar to my car its a 328i 2012 F30 but i got and air bag problem follow with a air conditioner problem could you possibly know what can I do? Or should I just give up and go to the dealership
I saw an airbag light as well, but was able to clear the codes with BlueDriver OBD2 scanner. I tried a difference scanner first, and it didn’t work. Try clearing the codes in all modules (not just CEL).
@@LenartoGarage thanks for the response if you don't mind another question do you think I could do this to a 328i if I got a m car from the same year 🤔
IIl VipeR lII I haven’t done meth on the 335 yet. I’m running an E30 custom tune by Cary Jordan right now. Did you see my video on installing a meth kit on the F30 N20? It would be very similar on the F30 N55
IIl VipeR lII which kit did you get? Don’t let the wiring intimidate you, it ends up not being that bad. Typical kits have a pump, controller, and reservoir. The pump need power, ground, and a signal from the controller to tell it to turn on. The controller needs power, ground, a small tube to go to a boost source (if it’s a progressive controller), and of course the wire going to the pump. I believe some controllers have another a wire that goes to the low level sensor on the reservoir. Any specific questions I can help you with?
Moto Monkeys I have the 2.5 with the vc50. So I should have one like if tubing from the boost tap to the vc50 and then one from the injection port to the pump right.
Moto Monkeys ok so I just received the 1/8 npt to 1/4 boost tap. The black hose that comes in the kit connects to the nipple and then to the controller right? For some reason it doesn’t look like the black hose fits over the nipple?
OEM M3 seats cost a fortune, saving that money plus your car could probably get you a used M3.....may be he got it from a scrap car for next to nothing
M Performance I enjoy the process of modifying and making something unique. I went from a E90 328i, to an F30 328i, to an F30 335i. The 2021 m3 with all wheel drive are looking really tempting to be the next project car. I currently have a 2019 X5 as well, bootmod3 license just purchased for her 🔥.
Tons of work, but looks totally worth it. Build is coming together nicely. Quality content
Would have liked to see how to take old seats out and put new seats in. Looking for instruction vid. Looks great!

I wanna do this!
Do it! Totally worth it!
we’re you ever able to figure out how to make the M badges light up?
I wasn’t able to figure it out before I sold the car.
These don't have adjustable under thigh support ! Did u feel like it's a deal breaker or its good enough !?
Personally, I’ve never used the adjustable under thigh support. Nothing about them is a deal breaker for me. I would do the swap again.
Any coding required?
I did not have to do any coding. I did swap the modules from the old seats to the new seats. I had to clear the trouble codes from “all modules” using BlueDriver after the install.

how much lighter ten seats compared to the normal seat
I didn’t actually weight them. Just from feel, it didn’t seem like a huge difference.
how do you like the kw v1s vs the bilstein coilovers you had before
The kw street comforts are much better than the Bilstien B14s in my opinion. It’s great to be able to adjust the dampening!
please tell me where i can purchase used F80 seats and do i need to purchase the brackets also
No brackets needed, they bolt right up. You have to keep an eye out for a set to show up on eBay.

shibidi I ended up selling that car before I did the timing chain.
M style front fenders? Does this allow for wider front wheels?
It does have m style front fenders. The fenders don’t allow for wider wheels. They just give you the side vent.
Did you manage to light up the seat emblem (pin7)?
Also how did you remove the driver and passenger seat restraints airbag faults
Also did the passenger side electric seats turn opposite? Press up it goes down and press down it goes up? Did that happen to you and how did you sort it
Thank You

What caused the code? What peice of interior?
Do you need to code the F80 front seats?
I didn’t. I did swap the modules on the bottom of the seats, but I’m not sure if that was needed.
Hallo, i have the same Seats in my f32.
did you get the M logo in the seats to glow?
I haven’t tried yet! I was reading up on it on the forums, and it doesn’t seem too bad. Not plug n play though.
Hey! did you manage to illuminate the M emblem?
I sold the car before I had the chance to figure it out unfortunately
Was it straight plug and play? Did you had to do any coding for everything to work properly?
All I had to do was to clear the codes after the install. I did swap the seat modules as well. No custom coding was needed.
Thanks for sharing the info. 👍
So the seats don't bring up an error code or anything?
No codes or anything 👍🏻

@@VICE-WRLD absolutely, the body code (F30) is what matters, the engine won’t make a difference (n20 vs n55).
How much did you pay for all of it?
~$2300
Yo if you ever decide to do meth on the 335i please post a very detailed video of every single step. Like I wanna see every step you make. Please

Total it was all still around $2300. I’m currently $25k in mods, so I’m past used m3 money 😅
When you can’t afford an m3, you buy m3 seats
