Will front seats from an E90 fit my 2015 X1?

[zoul]

I might have a line on a set of sport seats for an E90. Since our cars are based on the E90, will the diver and passenger seats fit?

They appear to be the same from my 335i.

I guess that I'll be finding out for sure in a week or so... I just bought them.

Keep us posted.

They do fit. I just put them in tonight and it was not too difficult.

They are way more comfortable than the regular seats.

They down side is that I now have an airbag light. I'll be calling the shop tomorrow about it.

I read something about that potential of airbag message. IIRC this may have to do with the difference with model year e90s. Might be because X1 being the more modern car may have extra side airbags or some SRS logic as well. Some has active head restraints that may cause headache.... figuratively.
I wonder if you can code it away.

I will find out today. I'm taking it to a shop that does more than just maintenance. They are going to hook it up to the computer and see what it's saying.

As it turns out there is a sensor in the seats that is different from what the car is looking for. I have an appointment next week and they are going to code around it.

Having said that, the seats are totally worth it. I cannot believe how much more comfortable they are than the stock seats. I'm amazed.

If they do code around it, please get an explanation as to what has to be changed and coded. This opens a lot of possibilities for us.

Actually they have not been able to. I have to install a Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor bypass emulator, which is on order right now.

The seats are still worth it...

I’m sure it’s more expensive and not sure what labor would be involved, wondering if you looked into replacing the seat sensor mats themselves with the correct version.

Well?!?! Don't leave us hanging, were you able to fix the error code?
