      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.

        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.

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

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

              You can’t convert power sliders to be manual.

                  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.

                      Do we have a part number for the manual sedan rails?

                        BMW doesn't sell the sliders separately-- only as part of a seat base.

                        You could also buy used non M manual seats from a normal e46, on fanatics/etc.

                          Gotcha. Ok I think I'll hit up a junk yard first, if I can't find some I may just use the power sliders to get them in and then if I come across some manual ones later I can switch

                            Fyi, e53 x5 sliders will work as well but the seat belt receptacle with harness will need to be swapped.

                              I think the same goes for the E83 X3 sliders. I found that the X3 and X5 sliders usually sell for a bit less than E46.

                                I'm surprised the e53 sliders work-- I would have expected it to use e39 sliders, which are pretty different than e46.

                                ... also, did they ever offer it with manual seats?
