f10 seats in E90

Tried to search and couldn't find anything but I got a seat of f10 front seats and wanted to know if anyone has tried putting them in. I did notice that the connectors are different. Any info would be helpful.

I wanted to do the same thing- the massage seats would make road trips even more enjoyable. As I recall they have a wider frame, though I haven't tried fitting one personally

5 series seats had wider or longer rmount rails
but after 2012 year the seats from f15 began to have more compatible rails with 3-series
so if you want to put seats you better look for seats from f15 but use electric modules from 2010-2011 e92 e93 e90 because they have compatible can-bus

Interesting that an X5 is more compatible than a 5 series is.

Took a quick glance on fleabay and found these. Look fairy comfy but B I'd have to be sure of fitment before pulling the trigger.

Recycling, aka junk yards, normally know what is compatible with what.

Guess I was wrong on the seats when I saw your post. I guess I got the f30 seats out of 328. I did get them in and re-wired to the e90 connector. Had to code seat occupancy sensor, it seemed to be bad in new seat.

Was wrong on them being f10. They are f30 out of 2014 328 and they directly bolted in. Wiring was a challenge but got it done. Unfortunately they didn't have heated seats like the old ones. I only got the passenger one in for now. Tackle the driver side next weekend.

Looks good though. Is there a noticeable difference in support? I feel like the E90 sport seats are decent, though I haven't much to compare them to

I think they feel better. I'm a little wider so they don't feel like I'm squeezing into them. plus they fell a little softer.

My E93 "comfort" seats are terribly uncomfortable. I wonder if the F33 seats would swap into an E93.

I would just sell them and just get the nicest E9x optioned seat and retrofit, tbh. Seems like more trouble to get the F10 seats to fully work than it's worth.

My original e90 seats have pretty much everything on them but they just make me feel cramped. The seats I put in are actually the f30 seats which feel a bit wider and softer. I only got the passenger seat in for now because I had to figure out all the wiring. The f30 seats just don't have the heating option which doesn't matter since I live in Ga and don't really use them.
