How to remove front electric seats on a Bmw E39 540i 525i 530i and BMW 740i

[@larryllanllan]

Been following yours DIY for several years, and I'm not surprised that when I look for any e39 tutorial, u have a video of how to do it 10/10 Thank you from Spain. Muchas gracias siempre me ayudas a conservar mi e39

[@Diydude69]

I'm about to remove some 7 series electric/ heated seats to put in my Landrover Defender, really appreciate the video, I now know what tools to take with me, I've realised I also need to take a 12v battery pack to power the seats for access. Wouldn't have thought of that without your video, Thank you very much. Dave

[@bimmermerchant]

+Diydude69 You are welcome

[@privatelisting366]

ATTENTION : Do not unplug the electrical connector to the seat until you have disconnected the negative terminal of the battery for at least ten minutes. Otherwise you will get an airbag light when you start the car. It has to do with the seat pressure sensor that detects if the seat is occupied or not in a crash and to deploy the airbag. Passenger side in particular. Also the small Torx is a 30, not a 27.

I guess I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream new series online ?

[@rickydariel2018]

@Caiden Nehemiah I use Flixportal. Just google for it =)

[@kierantripp2315]

@Ricky Dariel Yup, I have been watching on Flixportal for months myself :D

[@berkeleydojah]

i dont have the twisted seat yet, but theres alot of foam like in this video....can i still do the procedure? which side do i do ?

[@b58tuck]

Great video, I was wondering if the 540 front seat would fit in my e36 ?

[@3ricky13]

I can't move seats forward no power to any seat operation fuses good.

[@chrischristopher59]

Taking seats out of my 1992 bmw 535i, is it similar to this video?

[@BMWReviews]

Thanks for the useful video! I too made a seat DIY video for my e46 touring.

[@bimmermerchant]

Good to hear

[@thomasmasaniai4892]

How do you take out the seats if the motor is broken and unable to move them forward or backward?

[@bimmermerchant]

very difficult to remove at that point. You would need to cut the vertical metal brackets.

[@Stori2000]

How do you change seats on a BMW 745Li 2002

[@kimberlyclegg2]

How do you remove the seats from a 525i without power to the car? Im doing a restore project on a E34 1989 525i.

[@bimmermerchant]

Great Question. You need to locate the seat motors that move the seat back wards and forward. Cut both wires,splice them and provide manual power. Search our videos and sear for "seat' we have a seat diagram that shows this process. Thanks

[@jahbarryvictor9635]

Are all the seats the same ... like can I use a 5 series seat in a 7 series

[@bimmermerchant]

yes, e39 5-series and e38 740 seats are interchangeable

[@MuffinEdwards]

Do you have anything on removing back seat of 525i 2003?

[@bimmermerchant]

Unfortunately not at this time, we will upload video soon.

[@MuffinEdwards]

bimmermerchant thank youu

[@justsumday2010]

ok here is my prob the seat is all the way to the front and it wont move at all and I have looked at the seat motor and there is no cable that I can see just 3 wires that's it. How would I go about trying to move the seat with a motor that has no cable? I am at a lost right now

[@bimmermerchant]

idontknowyou sorry Check this video out, it gives you a better diagram of what motor controls what in the front seats. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKatn5qeorRogZY

[@justsumday2010]

thank you for the link .. not what i was looking for 100% but i think i can make it work i would give this a try once i can get the time off to do so :)

[@TheLewisApproach]

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you!

[@janetprocaccinijanetmp6394]

[@bimmermerchant]

[@juanvaldez2111]

I came across a problem earlier this week. while vacuuming the driver side I pushed my seat all the way forward now I have no power completely to the seat or the steering wheel tilt options .. maybe a blown fuse? any ideas anyone?

[@st8kout1]

+Juan Valdez My first guess is a connector came off. A quick google found this: www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1810614-Problem-with-power-seat-and-adjustable-steering-wheel Bimmerforums.com is a great place to ask questions because there's usually someone else who has had the same exact problem and knows the fix.

liked and subscribed thx very much..

[@walterthorne4819]

ThNk you

[@ronniewilson4769]

Thanks

[@goneviral8814]

Hi guys dose anyone know if I am able to get the comfort seats instead of the stock seats. I have 2007 525i. I want thicker and firmer seats instead. Anyone know if I can????

[@bimmermerchant]

localpeople Most seats are interchangeable. As long as the connections are the same, you can install sport seats on bmw with comfort seats and vice versa.

[@fOrNaLL]

Helpful. Thanx!

[@bimmermerchant]

fOrNaLL Thanks

[@Powaup]

thanks for the video

[@bimmermerchant]

Our pleasure.

[@safwanmuk605]

[@JohnJohnson-ce9tq]

Wish you would actually show the work being done.. great vid tho

[@bossgonzales1162]

That looks like a good hiding place for ur dope forgot about that one

[@carguy284]

Please clean your car. Your viewers would appreciate it and it makes you look better. Make a video on "How to clean and detail your car and keep it that way". Should be your next video. Now GO CLEAN THAT PIG PEN!! LOL Thanx for the info. PS--Don't take it the wrong way because your car is cleaner than some videos on KZbin. A clean car goes faster !!

[@bimmermerchant]

Car Guy Thanks for pointing that out. Will take that in consideration. Spend time vacuuming and cleaning interior of car that is being stripped and on its way to metal recycler or focus on the DIY Process?

[@krallopian]

bimmermerchant No, please clean the car, without a clean car viewers cannot follow along, especially a filthy car like this one! . . . . jeepers some people huh? Keep up the great work ;)
