Happy to hear other people's comments on this as well, that's my #1 priority for doing this as well. Will install in 3 week and post my results here with pics and measurements.

You get em in? I hate the stock seating position in the E92. Everytime I go from my F80 or Z4M back into my E92 it's the first thing that throws me off, the seating position is too high.

Yes got them in, much stiffer and better side bolster support. About ~1 to maybe 1.5 inches lower which is great, more feedback through the seat and more room for the helmet. Also, seats seem a bit thinner so a bit more leg room in the rear for kids.

Everything works besides for some reason on the driver's side the side bolster works but doesn't set to memory. The passenger seat heat turns on then turns off in 5-10 seconds, then doesn't want to turn back on. Got tired of messing with it since it's summer - might try again later. If anyone experienced this or has a picture of the seat modules and wires setup that fully works please let me know. I have 2011.75 e90 comp and put in non-competition 2015 f80 seats.

Were you able to get heat, bolster and lumbar working on the passenger side seat? If so could you please help out!

Much appreciated!

On the passenger side, I had to tie pin 14 (from the F83 seat side) to ground for everything to start working. This was odd because the driver’s side behaves the opposite way – you must NOT tie Pin 14 to ground on the driver’s side.

Thank you! Will have to try to tackle this soon.

Bumping this up as I am about to tackle this project.

Does anybody happen to have a wiring diagram for repining a F82 M4 interior into an LCI 09+ E92?

Recently did a similar swap m440 seat into a e92. Everything works except for the forward/back switch by the latch to fold the seat. Has anyone ran in to this problem? Does it need coding? The lci module came out of a convertible.

I'll PM you what I did put together so far.

Hi Brett, found a few f83 M4 seats locally.Love what you did there got me thinking of doing the same with my e93 M3. Any chance you could send me the notes you have to see how difficult this job is before I buy the seats ? Would really appreciate it .

Hello bro, I bought seats the same as yours for a 2014 m4, I tried to place them on my 2011 e90 but I noticed that the rails of the m4 seats are wider and do not fit the body, did you make any adaptations?

Mine bolted right up, no adapters/modifications needed at all.

Brettcp what car do you have ? Does it make any difference whether the car is an American or German version? Just yesterday I tried to place them but there was a difference of about 1cm.
