If you need motors or a seat mechanism I have a couple lying around.

Wish I was closer, but sadly not. I’m hoping for good weather and to do it this weekend

Just wanted to post that I've been watching all of the videos and reading the blogs about the seat motor freezing up because mine did. I almost ordered a new motor online until I found a salvaged Z3 about an hour from me and was getting ready to head out when I read one last forum where a guy used a hammer. Thought it was a joke at first but had to try it... grabbed my hammer and a rag to soften the blows and tapped all around the front motor... viola! the damn thing started working again!! Who said that a hammer doesn't work on electrical.

Electric motors need to be used otherwise they can develope ""dead spots", a tap with a hammer just shocks them into working again.

I'd say once you free it up move it all the way back and forth a few times and then try do that semi regularly to prevent them from happening, I have seen it a lot on motors of the passenger side seat or window that get used rarely
