M5 electric Seats

Hi positiv,

I have some questions about wiring the e34 m5 seats.
I read a lot about and I know that in the e28 originally only 2 wires are needed for the electric seats, ground and all hot 12V connected via a 25A fuse.
The e34 needs a lot more wires, and both front seats are connected via a separate 30A fuse.

I bought the e34 m5 electric seats with memory. I know how to install them, but not how to wire them. My seats are from a 94er limo. Do you have any advises?
I just need normal operation and memory, no mirror signal or heating needed.

What about the back seats, what have you done, to fit them?
Did you cut something of?

Ciao noobi

Have been thinking about what you said. And I will take with me the flywheel to a professionally workshop, and get a condition evaluation, at the end of this week.

Thank you :)

Good call, it's worth it. It should look like this after a proper skim: (this is the flywheel from my own car)

Bent,
Thanks for your reply. Guess I should've taken the SI board to someone also.

Hurry up and throw that manual box in...

Car has come along a lot since I last looked. Yeah it's over the top, but sometimes that can be fun, and it doesn't look like a tricked out honda or anything.

I really like the GPS bracket idea. I've wanted to mount a tablet inside a center console for a while to have a complete entertainment system for cheap.

Where did you relocate the climate controls to?

Aesthetically you lost me about when the chrome wheels went on, but I am completely impressed with your skills. I applaud your willingness and ability to just dive in and make this car your own.

I learned quite a bit about the E28 from reading this thread; the pictures of the bits and pieces are extremely useful. For example, the photos of when the headliner was out; being able to see what the wiring looks like above the rear view mirror.

Don't let the jerks who don't have the same taste or appreciation for art that you have keep you from continuing to participate here.

Thanks again.

This is a very massive and awesome thread. I dig it.

Also, if you have a source on a set of those red/clear tail lights i would be very interested in hearing about it haha.

Looks good!

Hello Mr.

Sorry, but can you pleace elaborate on what you mean by:

Relocate the climate controls to?

Becouse am not sure what you mean. Thanks.

I think he means: how do you work the heater and vents now?

But in the completed pic, it's obvious. :)

Good to see someone investing so much time and effort into doing things as 'right' as possible and with their own style.

Jim Moreno is on here too ;)
