Looks awesome Socket , I am in love with the M3 seats and soft Novillo leather, been on and off about buying a set for my car for a couple of months now. Any idea if they go lower than stock 335i seats? One thing I hate about the 335i seats is they don't go low enough towards the floor of the car. It always feels like you're sitting too high up, almost as high as a Toyota Camry seats .

Is that for a Drivelogic and M Drive retrofit? , I read you 41 pages long thread with dyezak, LMB335is and couple of other guys, on the other forum that cannot be mentioned here haha. I am almost there with retrofitting M Drive to my car, just waiting on the 1M DME flash. E92 M3 DSC is in, and E92 M3 SZL with the steering wheel ///M button are installed too.

My car is manual, so I was only after M Drive and not Drivelogic as well, but yeah, Drivelogic would be sweet on a DCT N54 car. Goodluck with the install Aus335iguy, I'll be posting my update on that thread on the other forum soon.

Yeah you guessed. Adjustable launch control, adjustable shifts.... what's not to like? I need to save for an M3 diff and axles as well as the launch tends to shear the pinion nut on the diff.

Hey Pete
You are welcome to check out the seats anytime. I don’t know if they sit lower. They are mounted on the same rail and use the same frame etc so I can’t see how they would, but I have no idea tbh

Had a go at installing these tonight
Only to get one in and find it didn't light up
Not enough day light to stuff around, so had to abandon project and reinstall the original lights before the sun set !!!!
Grrrrr this mod is turning out to be a major drama

Pic 1 - Wheels liners off, one headlight out and the other ready to go
Pic 2 - New headlight in..... grrr it doesn't light up
Pic 3 - Old head lights back in... that was a waste of time

Your M3 rear cup holders and center arm rest is the same design for all e93's
I had the exact same setup in my 07 e93 335

FYI the plastic bits in the center gets scratched up like a mofo if you even look at it. Consider wrapping.

Was there a middle passenger seat/seatbelt in the e92 and did you lose it?

I like your new look over the old one.

Yoda will always be the master Aus
I am a mere hack able to do the most basic of DIY tasks, although I'm getting pretty good at swapping out seats lol
