BMW 3 Series Touring (E 91)
BMW 3 Series Coupé (E 92)
Retrofit kit No.
61 11 0 391 644 Retrofit kit for E87 with manual seat adjustment
61 11 0 400 883 Retrofit kit for E90, E91 and E92 with manual seat adjustment

Installation time
The installation time is 3.5 hours, but this may vary depending on the condition of the car and the equipment in it.
The installation of heating elements E is not included in the above installation time and must be calculated
separately depending on the equipment in the car (see KSD for installation time and further details).
In general the car must be upgraded to the latest I stage status by flashing before starting the work. Depending on
the production age of the car and the work already carried out on the car, the programming times will vary, which
means that we cannot quote a specific time at this point.
The installation time does not include any time for programming/encoding, as this depends on the age of the car
and the equipment in it.
Important information
These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organization and by
authorized BMW service companies.
In any event the target group for these installation instructions is specialist personnel trained on BMW cars with the
appropriate specialist knowledge.
All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, circuit diagrams, servicing manuals and work
instructions, in a rational order, using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current health and safety
regulations.
To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, if any installation or function problem occurs, after a
brief troubleshooting session (approx. 0.5 hours), please contact the following:
1. Either your national subsidiary or your regional office
2. The Support team via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP) using the optional technical parts
support application.
Specify the chassis number and the part number of the installed retrofit kit and give a precise
description of the problem.
Do not archive the hard copy of these installation instructions since daily updates are made by ASAP!
Pictograms:
Denotes instructions that draw your attention to special features.
