I'd say that the highest position is roughly where the stock seats are (maybe a little lower, but not significant). Each position down is half an inch to an inch, so you can probably lower 1-2". I haven't since the switches need to be moved to a separate bracket that I didn't get. This wouldn't be an issue with manual sliders (which honestly I'm kicking myself for not getting).

- they're faster than the motors (even though the rear is basically impossible to get into) - they're lighter than the motors - you can mount the seats at the lowest position on the BK mounts without having to use their special adapter to avoid hitting the switch (though on second look, the F87 mounts don't seem to have one of these and they don't have anywhere to mount one--maybe it doesn't need it? I'll check in the morning.) I definitely prefer doing the OEM electric sliders over aftermarket manual sliders though. |

You'll need to contact someone like Alex @ Alpine to code everything out. He did my M4 and I had no issues afterwards.

For people looking for manual sliders— look for i3 part outs. 100% of them use manual sliders, and they’re the same sliders BMW used from e9x on.

I went up to a bunch of salvage lots in Sacramento, CA and was quoted ~250/seat for manual seats + sliders (they wouldn't split the sliders from the seats). Not unreasonable (especially since I could probably harvest the connectors, heaters, occupancy sensor, etc.), but more than I wanted to pay. Was looking to trade seats with someone, but unsure how easily the electric sliders would code in (I'm sure there are folks who have done it).

- Get Ethernet to OBD2 cable (e.g. https://amzn.to/35cXmMU) and USB to ethernet adapter if your laptop doesn't have an ethernet port - Go through the E-sys and Launcher installation: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh.../983244?page=1 - E-sys 3.30.1 (looks like 3.27.1 also works?) and E-sys Launcher 2.8.2, which should be free until ~March/April 2020 (http://tokenmaster.blogspot.com/2019...pro-282.html); otherwise, you'll have to deal with TokenMaster and E-sys Launcher Pro 3.x - Code out L/R Seat Airbags, R Seat Occupancy Sensor, L/R Seat Heaters (NICHT_AKTIV). There was a thread that had the names for the airbags, but I'll have to find all of them again - This should all be VO coding, no flashing required so you only need the PSdZData Lite |

I think the left most sample in both pictures is the closest match, but I probably am not the best judge for this.

Yep, I used European sourced anthracite (the stuff I got from Relicate in the US was different). Unsure what manufacturing variation they have, but it was noticable when I had the two swatches next to each other.

have you managed to code all the errors out and make it happy? and do the errors interfere with anything?
i just ordered a pair of nogaros for my m2c |

Just managed to get E-Sys (3.27) and E-Sys Launcher (2.8r155) activated. Will plug into the car later today or tomorrow and see if things connect properly, then will proceed with coding.
It's not super well documented, and the entire process feels pretty sketchy, which is why I've avoided it thus far. Hopefully it's smooth sailing and I can document the process a little better. The car is perfectly happy to keep driving (at least, AFAICT), it just pops up warnings about the driver and passenger restraint systems that you have to skip in order to get to iDrive. I mostly keep my iDrive off anyways, so it doesn't bother me... |

Ok, the part everyone has been patiently waiting for. To be honest, coding is super daunting up front, as most of the instructions are terrible and the all of the download links seem sketchy, plus the persistent fear of bricking your car.
As always, everything here is at your own risk, so proceed with caution. I went from knowing next to nothing this morning to coding away all my errors, in three easy steps:
Now, more detail on the above. For 1:
For 2:
CIS_Beifaher (Occupancy sensor) Sitzairbag_Thorax_Fahrer (Driver seat airbag) Sitzairbag_Thorax_Beifahrer (Passenger seat airbag) Sitzpositionsensor_Fahrer (Driver seat position sensor) Sitzpositionsensor_Beifahrer (Passenger seat position sensor) Sitzpositionsensorserkennung_Sitzmemory_Fahrer (Driver seat position sensor memory) Sitzpositionsensorserkennung_Sitzmemory_Beifahrer (Passenger seat position sensor memory) Save, FDL code, and wait for success For 3:
Restart the car and you should have no errors coming from the Driver/Passenger safety systems! At the same time I did M4GTS + Euro MDM and M2CS steering. I didn't push the car on the drive home (it was highway driving), so honestly I didn't feel anything, but we'll see how it performs at the next auto-x.
