Sport seat swap

Hey everyone,
I wanted to know if I would be able to switch my ventilated seat with a sport seat from the same year and model (x3 m40i)? I found a sport seat in good condition without the ventilation and had the adjustable bolsters which I want. Would this be a direct bolt on swap....would the non ventilated seat be compatible in my car...would I run into any coding issues since its not a ventilated and has the electrical bolster system?

Thanks and please let me know if you are aware or know the answers to these questions

Check the wiring diagram on TIS info site and see if the wires at the seat connectors are different

You should be able to get it working with correct parts, wiring and coding
