You can install the seats and code airbag lights out however I recommend the ECS retrofit kit which allows full function of the airbags on the seats. They are awesome seats and unlike all other aftermarket options have a working airbag and heating and (despite not being road legal) are the most safe option in opinion.
Sorry to go slightly off topic,

I have these seats fitted along with the correct kit to enable the airbags etc.
However, my heated seat button doesnt seem to make any difference and the light goes out after a few seconds.

Are all the bmw performance seats fitted with heating elements as if so ill get them looked at? i assumed i had sacrificed the heated seats for the extra comfort and style of these seats lol.

Great colour by the way although my personal favourite is the Yas Marina Blue offered on the new m3/m4. still it takes big balls to paint a 1M a new colour.

Nice Job
All bmw P seats have wiring for heated. Sounds like an install or hardware error.



OP - please post more photos of the car. Would love to see it in different light. What made you decide to paint it? As said it is a bold move to paint a 1m but in your case a rewarding one.
