      The E60 M5 seats are canbus controlled. Also the biggest factor why they aren't in my car yet. To even recline the seat, or adjust position, it sends a K-Can message to an "M" computer, which then says "okie dokie. go ahead and recline the seat", but it send it back on a different Canbus back to the seat. Much effort was put into making it work and I feel like I was close, but they still arn't in the car. :(

      I would look into if the seats are can controlled, and if so which parts. You can always run a motor controller to each spliced motor, as well as power on/off for the cooler/heater.

      Not trying to discourage you at all, just be aware what you might be getting into.
