If anyone wants to convert to comfort seats

[DuSh]

There's a Ivory set available with free shipping: https://www.pacificmotors.com/auto-p...mw-x5-2014-18/

I'm not affiliated to them in any way. I just know how hard it is to find a comfort set in needed color for x5 (or any BMW for that matter). You can still sell your stock set and recuperate some money.

Installation is direct bolt on.

I’m so tempted because I have ivory interior. Problem is the coding par ort whether I need control module or it’s build into the seat. I did compare the wire harness on real oem and the two between standard and comfort seat are different from each other. But the wire harness is only $200 per side and is detachable. And for $1700 is cheap! Now about freight shipping :/

Control module is built into the seat - it's located under seat itself. Front seats bolt with 4 torx bolts to the floor and 2 more torx bolts for seat belt - very straightforward to swap. Rear seat has no modules. The only coding you might encounter is when you add vented seats into x5 that didn't have them (that will require extra buttons on dash too).
Plastic socket box (where wire harness is located) under the seat should be physically same, but it will have different wire layout to account for extra options comfort seat has: I think it's just extra set of positive and negative wires for extra adjustments comfort seat has (as all extra motors and inflatable lumbar support is already built into the seat). Unless I am missing some hidden built-in features - for example if x5 can adjust seat position during crush or something - then those features might require coding, but I'm not sure if x5 has something like that specific to comfort seats only? Probably not.

You have to find canbus somewhere also as the standard or sport seats dont have a seat module.

So going from standard to sport seat is possiable? Because I think all it does it add a manual seat extension.
