W212 with AMG buckets

So I’ve recently bought myself a W212 facelift E550, I like the current seats. But I’d love the AMG buckets available in pretty much every AMG 2017 onwards. My dads A35 has them and they’re just nicer.

Question is, has anyone retrofitted these too a w212?

If so, what was the process and what was the cost?

Unbolt seats. Install new seats. Cost is what ever the seats cost.

SEATS UPGRADE > AMG!

The W212 seats are parts of the SAFETY network: they are commanded to travel at high-speed during front/rear impacts.

You best need to get your donor AMG seats coded so they are integrated with the target W212 chassis. Unlikely a plug-N-play bolt on....

Front seats have built-in airbags + electric motors and a control module with tons of well-soldered electronic & relays.
