BMW retrofit specialist recommendation – East Midlands

Hi all, first post here so go easy on me!

I’ve got a 2019 F31 318d M Sport and I’m looking to retrofit OEM heated electric memory sport seats. I’ve already sourced the seats and climate panel.

Can anyone recommend a BMW specialist in the Nottingham/Derby/Leics area who’s comfortable with this kind of retrofit and coding work?

Thanks in advance

Just had a quick search

Goes or went under Bavarian Coding and was on here as @vorph
But might have got banned for selling services.

If he can’t help then there’s a guy called Jason who’s Redditch based but I’ll have to search his details. He fitted car play to our car.

Jason is good . He fitted some power fold mirrors to my 335d a few years back.

Thanks for this. I’ve sent loads of emails and the only places that have said yes so far are London or Southampton!

I had Simon come round year or so ago to do a Idrive 5-6 upgrade, wifi antenna and various coding options ( even threw in a free Alpina map on the gearbox at the time 335D).

Very nice guy, knew his stuff looked after my car very well and would have no issue calling him again ( Im based in the South East ) . I think there is another company with similar name that's confused people.

Simon at Bavarian Coding lives on the South Coast somewhere, but he is Mobile.
He came up to Nottingham to do my brother's M340 heated steering wheel upgrade.
And I agree....he knows his stuff.

Can vouch for Simon at Bavarian Coding. I’ve personally haven’t used him but have heard/read good things of his services.
