Your Input Would Be Valued

I really regret not getting the Sport Package and semi-regret getting power seats (I hardly ever adjust my seat, my passenger hardly ever adjusts hers, and to be perfectly honest, I seldom carry more than me and 1 other passenger). When I do happen to carry 3-4 people, it seems like it's a pain to move the seat which takes a while (at least longer than manually).

I've already blacked out my window trim thanks to bmwshadowline.com (works great, just have to be careful and patient). I'm planning on BMW Performance Suspension Upgrade. Now for the seats (and this is where I'd like my fellow 1ADDICTS input).

I've been eyeing Corbeau A4 seats, they weigh 25 lbs., manually adjusted and IMO, look nice. They aren't cheap, but they're not that much either. Would I run into any issues putting in manual seats, probably with a universal rail? Should I wait/ask Corbeau if they're developing a rail pre-configured to e82.

On an unrelated topic, I've already ordered an A4 Office Chair for my home...maybe I'll find the courage to bring it to my work...

You will probably need to pull the fuse on the side airbag.

You should call EAS they sell the emulator that fools the system for the airbags I think. I remember seeing it on their site.

Would there be any safety concerns with this "fooling of the system"? Also, would it be a problem if I needed custom railings with the subwoofers under the seats?

Besides not actually having the side-impact airbags from the seats?

lets see if I hav ethis right - the seats while powered, you have them set just right and seldom need to move them since its basically a 2 passenger set-up. If the seat comfort is not an issue why would you swap them out? The only benefit would be for faster rear access but then you seldom have passengers.

DUDE spend your money elsewhere.
