if i was you i would go the extra yard and buy leather seats

as for cost i havent a clue but join a bmw forum and you get them cheap from one's thats breaking bmw's up

as a matter of interest i pick up front and back leather seats and door stills for a E30 bmw for less them €150 from a bmw forum

befoe you even think about buying the seats, you need to make sure your car is pre-wired for the electrical connection.

no point going out and spending 500e on decent electric seats and then finding out that theres no where to plug your seats into

Go to breakers yard get seats + wiring + switches from donor car. I think the motors on these are direct drive from the switches.

Bring them home and hook them up on the bench to a 12v battery or power supply and get them working. Then install in the car with suitable fuses / wiring added.

The main cost will be in getting the seats, i would guess anywhere from €100 to €300. Then you need to bench test them and install them. If your not too happy cutting into the harness in your own car, bolt the seats in and take to an auto electrician and he'll splice the wiring in, probably charge around €60 for his hour's labour.
