Does anyone know if getting E46 seats with airbags is a deal breaker or perhaps know which models have them and which don't? I'm looking at a pair of seats I'd like to pick up but the seller doesn't know if it has air bags and I don't know if that matters. My main concern is that I'll be messing with the wiring and heater and want to make sure I don't inadvertently trigger the bags.

Anyone running them with airbags, other things I should be thinking about or is it a non issue?
 
Airbag wiring is usually bright yellow, just unplug the connector and tape it out of the way.

I have an '06 and an '07 seat with airbags and they are no issue. Avoid the yellow wires. I think the seats say SRS or airbag somewhere on the side of the seat. Many BMW seats are not heated, so don't expect to find seat heater wiring on every seat.
