Great instruction with a ladies voice which is clear and concise and easy to listen to. Wonderful, no background music that obliterates the instructional words on other sites.

@@pinkeye00 4 hrs? Took me 30 minutes per seat

Thanks for the video. Had this issue with my '99 M Roadster, no more! One thing to emphasize, make sure you keep the rails exactly as they are on each seat. I mistakenly put the left rail on the right track and vice versa on my driver seat and it caused the seat to move the opposite direction of the switch!

Just did these on a 1999 Z3 2.8, perfect instructions, parts were exact, and no more wiggle!

Great work!

Helpful video. Using your bushings I was able to fix the driver seat shimmy in about 30 minutes.

Thanks for the instructions. Did not used a vice, hammered them down, once sanded to fit.

Good video. Thanks! Because the original bushings were completely dissolved to goo, the unthreading count was 2 turns less than the re-threading turn count. With the seat in the full rearward position during removal, both carriers were 7 turns to remove, but 9 turns to reinstall. Also, the receiver "key" at the tip of the assembly that sleeves with the drive rod is square and it is helpful to pre-align the threaded rod to match the drive rod orientation.

Thank You for the video. My brother and I repaired my seats. You made it easier.

Best video on here showing this procedure!

Thanks for the video and the bushings. Drivers seat is completed.

thank you for this video. I shall be trying this tomorrow

Thank you soooo very much. Great video and super helpful.

Superb video in every way

thanks for the video

Brilliant Video!!!!

Thank you so much

Good vid

Why not wrap a piece of tape or a dab of paint on thread area as a marker instead of counting turns? Though I find it odd that you're paying around $20 for a set of plastic washers that you still have to sand down to fit properly. They should be the proper thickness in the first place.

Great video thank's, Just one of the sliders has an L on it should go on the left side of the seat otherwise the electrical command will be inverted and as stated below do not screw tight the 2 x T25 Torx screws on the sliders, to much friction will block the rail track.

Better than counting turns is to measure the length from one end to place where goes bushings.

Do you have a DYI video on how to replace complete right side seat belt for 1998 BMW Z3?

I am having trouble with the inside rear bolt. I don't have enough room to apply the pressure I need to unbolt it.

Hi X8R, I've bought your bushings and followed the video instructions, but I have an issue when it comes tightening the 2 x T25 Torx screws on the sliders. When I tighten them they power seat motor goes under a lot of stress, however when they are loose or not on at all the motor works fine. The new bushings have been aligned correctly, and just comes to question is this why the original part is rubber to compensate for the "wiggle" in the tracks? Any feedback is appreciated so I can have it secured in my car.

Might have the thread count wrong vs the other rail and it's binding. I find it better to measure with a tape or ruler before disassembly instead of counting threads

Hi man Your comment about tighten the 2 x T25 torx screws help me to find and solve the issue about the stress that I have in seats motor. I find that I had pushed a lot deeper than the ideal this metal thing with the bushes inside. And the hole was not exactly in the center. That causes this problem and in my opinion is dangerous to burn the motor. If anyone wants to test the seat rail movement before place it in the car can do this by connecting a 12V battery directly to the motor's plug. And for removing to the other side just change the polarity in battery

I have a problem, I must have been wrong to count the number of turns, so now I try to place the seat but it is displaced from the chassis bolts. How can i fix this?

are there kits for sale to replace the mechanism itself?

Hi, does anyone have a tip where to buy the Reparation Kit? I love dearly my Z3 1999, but it dumped the annual check today.

eBay X8R advertise there. Under£15 for 8.

or just use a rubber mallet and tap the bushing in place .. :)

I have a BMW Z3 with the same probem. One more question: Is there some special procedures to disconect and reconect the electrical plugs? Thanks a lot for the video!
