Hello group! I am a new BMW owner as of last Thursday. In fact, this is my first expensive car ever. When I test drive my car (20 minutes), I was pretty happy with everything (328 iX Luxury with premium package). But then, after I took possession of it, it took a bit less than 45 minutes to really hate the seats.
Did anyone retrofitted the standard seat to add a lumbar support? I know this have been done on various previous models:

I also found the major required components on RealOEM:
61129258232 (wiring) - but not sure of this as it would miss one connector for supply voltage (I suppose)
61319276621 (switch module for electric with memory, lumbar, not sport)
52107284041 (lumbar support pad with pump --- and valve???)
52201964201 (little clips to close the seat back panel)
I am unsure about the cable in particular and about the valve. This would be a 570$ project.
Any advise is more than welcomed.
Oh... while looking into this, I removed the driver seat and I now have a Driver Restraint malfunction message that I would like to clear. I bought the Bavarian cable but if there is a quick way to clear it (outside of going back to the dealer), please let me know. (it will take several weeks before I get the cable)
