 Subject: e34 motorized headrest
 
 I have a '93 525 and the driver's side headrest motor has ceased operation.
  The dealer told me it needed a new motor and quoted about $200-$225 for
 the job.  I was wondering if this repair was detailed in the Bentley
 manual...maybe some of you could give insight to the procedure and how many
 Rolling Rocks this would be for DIY.  TIA,

Jason it is likley that this is the well documented short cable housing
problem.  See FAQs on 5 and 7 series for detailed instructions.  Not a
difficult fix and practically free.
