BMW f30 LCI EU retrofitting 'sportsitze' seats with inflatable side panels

Labed92 · 01-02-2023, 08:50 PM

Hi. I am about to purchase all leather interior upholstery. The new seats have "pumped" front seat sides (photo in attachment). My current (original) seats do not have this. Does anyone know how to connect these inflatable sides to make them work? Oh and will I have to code the seat belts tensioners/airbags or etc?

You are talking about the wideness of the left and right seat borders. With the switch you are be able to narrow those together to make them more fit to your body.
They are driven electric afaik and should be connected by the connectors below the seat. Question would be, if you car has all the necessary lanes to make them work.

That's what I mean by making it work and the factory seats don't have it

As written, they are driven electrical and the connectors under the seats are holding the regarding wires - but I have no clue if they are always stock factory installed or if this is a customized loom according to the ordering spec.
You should consult a wiring diagram or maybe some other user is be able to answer that.
