M Sport seats installed!
I lucked into a set of M Sport seats on eBay last winter. They came from a car with a build date within 6 months of my car so the color match was dead on. Now that the weather is warm I treated them with Leatherique and put them in the car. w00t!
Installation was fairly straightforward. I had to swap seat belt tensioners from my standard seats onto the M Sports because the car they came from had seen an impact and the tensioners had been actuated - they're one-time use items, just like an airbag. I had a bit of fun figuring out how to get the hard-wired sensor out of the connector assembly, but eventually figured it out and threaded all of the wires through the labyrinth. If I had not had to do that the job would have been plug&play. It took me about 3 hours to swap the seats; without the tensioner work I estimate it would have been about half that. Hints, tricks, lessons learned:
First impressions:

i love these seats, they have been the last piece of my car to see modification for a reason, they's pretty much nothing wrong with them, some of the best stock bmw seats around for sure... i just WISH they were alittle lighter and had alittle more support for track work...

I just picked up a set of imola sport seats that another member was selling, so I will be doing this conversion soon. So thanks for the write up! I shouldn't have to do the tensioner, so it should be a straightforward installation.

Ah-ha, so you're the lucky buyer. Those are nice looking seats. If you run into any issues please feel free to reach out, maybe I can help. But it should be a pretty easy swap.
