Hi all,

After driving a 2001 330CI for 14 years, I recently bought a 2016 X3 xDrive28i with just 6500 miles on it. The X3 has heated SensaTec seats without the sports package. I love the new car, but I realized that I miss the sport seats in my old 330, particularly the thigh support. Plus I just prefer the feel of the leather over the SensaTec.

I'm thinking about finding a set of seats on car-parts.com and upgrading the interior, but I have a few questions:

1. Assuming I find a set of sport seats from another F25, is this a plug-and-play operation? Or are the seats coded to the VIN in some way? Is there any programming involved?

2. Am I limited to seats from another X3, or will seats from an X5/X6 also fit/work in my car?

3. What production years am I limited to? Will seats from a pre-LCI F25 fit in my car?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
