Seat removal
I'm considering buying bucket/race seats for track but want to use my stock seats for the street. How difficult / time consuming would it be to interchange the front driver seat? I should note my seats are manual (non-powered)

do you have sport seats? if so are they leather? if so do you want to swap for leatherette? that said- I had non-sport leatherette and picked up the two front leatherette sport seats on here and installed them myself- not at all difficult, 4 bolts each and then the wiring which just unclips, took me about 1.5 hours tops maybe, you need a torx T55 or T50 I can't remember which though, but not hard

You will also have some error codes with Airbag malfunction which is not very easy to solve

You can't just clear the error codes? I haven't tried this on my BMW - haven't gotten any codes yet - but on my other cars, this is very easy with a OBDII reader.

Nope, you can't clear them like that. Also, removing the front seat disables the passenger airbag as well.

It is possible to disable airbags through coding but do you want that?
Also swapping seats every week or so.... better to decide which ones you want. If you want racing seats get them installed and disable seat airbags to not get error codes |

Here is what you need:OC3-seat occupancy sensor emulation module. Macht Scnell makes them. EAS sells them for about $300 if i remember correctly.
