"Rear" seat button on the Drivers door
Question - Is it normal for the button to make the front seats move forward?
When I press the forward arrow of the Rear seat buttons, the first thing that happens is that my seat gets jacked forward. Because to this, I set the button to only move the right side rear seat. I wish it just moved the rear seats, and did not make either front seat move. But I did not see and way to accomplish this in the setup. |

The front seat moving forward slightly before the second row seat moves forward, as you are describing, is how it is supposed to work. It is to ensure the front seat will be completely clear of the middle seat before the middle seat goes fully forward to allow access to the 3rd row.

I guess I missed the point of the buttons - to let people into the 3rd row from the drivers seat. I was hoping it could just move the 2nd row forward and back.

I agree… the other unfortunate thing is we cannot have occupants in the car while moving any row of the seat for opening / folding and getting in and out for 3rd row

Yeah, but would you really want to move one side of the second row bench, to gain access to the third row, if someone was still sitting in that side of the second row bench ? For my X7, I have that button setup to fold one side so if one person is in the second row, they can move over (if necessary) to allow access to the 3rd row when I hit the switch....

I hate the fact that after you execute a rear seat move and move the rear seat back to the seating position, it never puts the front seats back to the position they were in before you moved the back seats. I have to push the saved memory buttons for it to return to my saved position.
This should be a simple thing for BMW. But no, they just can't seem to figure out how to accomplish that task. |

I am still terrified that some child is going to get hurt as the second row moves due to an inadvertent push of one of the 50 buttons that can trigger the folding motion. Button by the driver's door. Buttons at the second row columns. Buttons in the trunk.
And I find the whole thing preposterous. 5 of us in the car, have to pick my daughter up from a movie in the pouring rain, it's really coming down hard, the open seat is in the third row. Despite the conditions, the second row passenger and the front row passenger have to get out of the car in order for her to get in. I'll never understand BMW's thinking on this. Then again, they are the company that forced me to an X7 because they stopped making X5's with the 3rd row option so why should I be surprised. |

Found the answer: . The video also shows the captains moving up without folding the back. Could be the answer for those that have untethered child seats (begs the question of why not just put the tether on the seat itself like every other car) and using LATCH, as it looks like they fill fold forward without the back moving around.

Interesting that you have that issue, as I don't with my X7. The front seat will return to it's original position. But what I have seen happen in my X7 is that sometimes the second row seat (left or right) will sometimes not return to it's original position - but most of the time it will. So go figure....

I guess I must be the lucky one with my seats and how they operate. But then, I have only needed to use the 3rd row for a passengers a few times after 1+ year of ownership...

Based on responses in this thread it sounds like BMW is giving out boxes of chocolates. You never know what your going to get. |

Something I am sure some coding could fix, if you can find the right coding parameters....
