E46 retrofit several things?
Hello, I wanted to ask what I can retrofit from my e46 318d 2004 BJ to my e46 320i 1998 BJ.
The 320i has almost nothing, no DSC, MFL, automatic lights, cruise control, heated seats, etc.
I have all of that in my 318d, though. I wanted to ask what I can replace, what's fairly easy to do, even if it's things I haven't mentioned. What's harder, etc. Thanks in advance!
Don’t make sense. I know that you don’t know what you’re going to do.
In order to retrofit the seat heating alone, at least if the cables are already lying to the seats, you must either replace the seats in the whole – or disassemble both seats completely and only swap the seat heating mat from one car to another.
A seat weighs approx. 45 kilos and must be threaded into the guides. If he’s got side airbags, you can’t do that if you’ve got explosives. You got that?
Then you need to install and connect the switches.
And that was the simplest action.
There’s always something going wrong with such actions. Clips break – disguise parts no longer sit as before. It’s never gonna be as good as it is.
Do yourself a favor: leave it!!
Light automation e.g. has a sensor in the windshield.
all this is not easy and associated with high costs.
it is better to put some more notes on the table and buy a BMW with better equipment.
I don’t have money but parts of another e46
You don’t have to retrofit some cable harnesses
insert and remove the disc, etc
