Since the entire seats would have to be removed >> - The BMW 5 Series (E39) Message Forum

You should just swap seats. Its easier. All you have to do is swap the belt tensioners/recepticales and the outer side trim with teh buttons. I'd say not too challenging but will take 1.5-2 hours. Its also a good time to give the seats a really good cleaning and conditioning while you have access to everything out in the open. Also the carpets under the seats can be cleaned for the 1st time.
