Hey gents,


I've recently replaced the seats on my BMW M2c. Since the pole positions do not have airbags I'm getting the annoying display on the Idrive system for both passenger and driver.

I've tried to find the info in regards to coding out the airbags but can't seem to find anything for the M2c. Have any of you guys done this?

I have bimmer code but once I put the system in advance it's gibberish. Any pointers are appreciated !!!!

I'll be using these guys for my airbag coding:

I can't speak for certain, but I believe Bimmercode doesn't allow access to safety-related aspects. Either way, E-sys is a better system for this kind of change.

If you're just removing the seats like I've done (pair of Recaro Profis), but keeping the factory belts and tensioners, see the attached. Doing this will send faults to the car so you'll need to clear those after coding has been done.

I used these guys remote service… https://www.codemybimmer.ca/
Cheap, quick, simple.

Very nice. Are those Cobra Negaro seats? I plan on putting these in soon. What exactly needs to be coded? Side air bags and passenger seat sensor, I'm guessing? Also could you tell me what Seat Sliders and Seat attachment system you went with?

Yes custom Nogaros with oem leather & stitching.
There's 2 or 3 sensors to code out.
Used the oem electric slides & added electric lumbar supports too (pic below).
Brey Krause make a Nogaro to M2 specific kit with side adaptors & all the info you need to wire up & install them.
There's a good 'how to' on you tube here…

Why the coding? Just fit airbag delete resistors.

Where would someone acquire those resistors? Are they PNP, or are there some mods that need to be made?

TIA,

Should be able to find them for a PnP option, but easy enough to measure the resistance in the circuit and replicate that.

@chief1richard Here's my thread on adding Nogaros, including all the brackets, etc.: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=25535027

@NY135ivishnu The info specific to coding coding is here (including instructions on downloading e-sys and getting it working): https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=40. As mentioned, bimmercode won't work for this purpose.

The resistors used are typically 3 ohm 1/4W--you can either cut the wires and solder one on, or re-use the connector and get some new pins to build a fully PNP solution.

When re-installing OEM seats, will it be needed to re-code for installing back to original. I will be removing Negaro Seats at end of Track Seasons.

Yes, you’ll need to code the seats back in when you place the stock seats back. The coding is easier than the physical swapping of the seats.

Where is the best place to get the e-sys software?

Where did u get them trimmed? Cost? And how do you rate them vs pole positions?

I'm really looking at seats + roll bar + belts as the next upgrade.

Hi Shawn, not sure what you mean. I receive private messages all the time or are you referring to something different?

Yes, apparently me being logged into f80.bimmerpost.com was not enough. I had to log into f87.bimmerpost.com to reply. PM sent.

had this done a few weeks ago for my pole positions ans i love noy seeing the annoying message

Cobra custom trim them from the factory to exactly how you want, which was a big reason I went with them.
They are pretty much identical to the Pole positions I have in my RS275R although the harness slots are located a little better & the fact you can buy the BreyKrause M2 specific kit was a plus.
The few small bits & pieces you need to make the whole system plug & play without having to cut wiring etc can be had on eBay with a little searching.
Cost is never cheap for this type of quality although it was less than buying Pole positions & retrimming them.
The driving experience is transformed once you get rid of the oem seats. The only real downside is lack of easy access to the rear seats although I've never had anyone in the rear seat so not an issue for me.
I'm using the Schroth quikfit harness on track days & given this car is my daily I am trying hard not to ditch the rear seat & add a cage, although it is very tempting.

I contacted cobra but they could not offer the same OEM leather. This is why I asked.

Could you maybe PM me the details of who you spoke to and what the leather + stitching details are?
