Recommendations for Comfort seats install?

Hi All,

I'm on the hunt for some comfort seats for my pre LCI F11, I'm hoping if anyone could help with some recommendations.

I'm mainly wondering how much you would be expecting to pay for a set?
and if anyone in the UK could recommend someone/somewhere who could install them at a reasonable rate?

I'm always happy to work on the mechanical side of things but electronics is not my strong suit so would feel more comfortable having a professional do it

Thanks in advance
Sean

We have the comfort seats and they're nothing to write home about. They're ok, but nothing more special than the sport seats in my '03 325.

Are the standard F10 seats really that much worse?

Do your comfort seats have ventilation/active seats? The one without both of these features is way more comfortable.

Had to look - it's my wife's car. Non-ventilated, non-massaging. It's not bad at all, just not "wow" in my opinion.

Ventilated comfort seat are great and a must for me (we have them on E65 also). I got rid of sport seats and retrofitted these.

I paid around 675USD for a set including shipping. That was front seats, rear seats and door panels.

Wiring job depens on what kind of seats you have on your car right now. Fully electric with memory on drivers side? Just electric seats, no memory? Half-electric basic seats?

I had fully electric with memory so all was needed to run one extra wire from both seats to front junction box to get the seats working. As an extra I ran the lin-bus wires for passenger side memory buttons too, but it's not needed. Mine is prelci too. Here are some pointers: https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2101459
