Hi.. I was advised to ask cotswold for the heated
Seat elements. . He only has the base elements and not for the back section of the seats..
Anyone know who may have some of these?
Bmw don't do them anymore. .
Im a bit stuck..
Thanks
cotswold doesn't have the seat elements? ?

Buy this kit as an alternative. The switches look like the originals too.

you could probably buy that kit, use genuine switches and just install the ebay pads.

This but ask an upholsterer for a recommended universal set.

Just checked and back rest heating elements are still available from Bmw. £49 + vat each.

If you are buying after market ones, the connectors to the original loom might be different, so you'll have to change them. The after market ones need to be a similar shape, its essential that when you install the elements, that they are nice and flat, no kinks or doubling over the elements. This is what you are looking for, 1st photo is for sports seats, 2nd for comfort seats. I've been told that they have just gone n/a, but there might be back stocks in some dealers if you are lucky.


I have seat looms and switches for £95, or switches on their own for £50 a pair if it helps, but no usable looms at the moment.

Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!
