It’s pretty hard to go to a junk yard that doesn’t have an e46 with manual seats in it right now. They’re all aging out.

You can’t convert power sliders to be manual.

Can I use the manual slider release handles with my stock power slider rails? Or do I need to buy sedan manual sliders?

Above ---- I JUST got around to putting in my Alcantara (fake) Cobra inserts in my seats. Love em ….. also had them do black stitching custom

How much additional cost did the fake alcantara inserts run you? Looking to do something similar to match my shift boot and ebrake boot.

Looking at your setup. You’ll need to connect the red/brown power terminal back to the main yellow connector. The connector circled in yellow looks like the wiring for the motor that i used. You can find the corresponding colors from my wiring. Only the two thick wires from the motor are used. The other two thinner yellow wires are for memory settings.

Your switch harness seems to have 5 wires. But the two brown look like ground. I would use the thickness of the wires to determine which ones to connect to the motor. I recall them being different thicknesses.

Here’s the connection i made for the switch. I had no use for the rest of the wires but didn’t bother to strip them. My e30 harness only had 4 wires.

I can take a picture tomorrow. Need to take it apart again to add the sub strap mount.

Yeah I’ll be using the E30 switch setup as well, instructions are alright, figured I’d ask in case you had photos since that always helps 👍🏼

The Brey Krause mounts come with instructions, which includes wiring instructions. The only thing I did differently was use the e30 plug instead of the clips they include, but the wiring was the same.

Hey obioban - I'm in the process of installing essentially the same Brey Krause setup in my E46 M3, do you have any additional details and/or pictures of the final wiring for your drivers side utilizing the stock power sliders? Surprised more people aren't running this setup and how difficult it seems to be to find info on it.

I have the info saved from my journal post on m3f. I'll soon update my journal, here, with it!

Looks great. I think I remember you posting this on M3forum but where did you get the dye pens and what was your process? I'll have Negaros at some point and would like to find a yellow to match PY close as possible.

Anyone in DC, VA, MD, NC are with these seats? Would really like to try to put my fat ass into these and see if it fits :-)
