1M Seats

HKDaytona · 05-09-2011, 05:08 PM

HI,

Just wondering if anyone feel the 1M seats are too narrow/tight for your back/upper body?

I am not tall but my body is wide. The lumber support feels too tight and it seems there is no way to make it wider.

Is my seating position setting wrong?

The Sport Seats are narrower because of the side bolsters that grip better in the twisties. The Lumbar feature should not affect the width as far as I can tell. I am pretty wide myself and the sport seats in my 135 seem to fit me fine. My Porsche Boxster seats on the other hand are way too narrow.

I was referring to the side blosters.

If they are the same sports seats that were in my 330D M Sport which they appear to be, in the UK at least on the corner of the seat there was an electronic adjustment for the side bolsters on the seat base corner at the front.

There is a back width ajustment switch.

Maybe his car didn't come with the manual.

Come on guys..

i think what baffles many of the readers here is the fact that you failed to use the search button on this well discussed topic of the adjustability of the side bolsters.

Give the guy a break.

Secretsalesmanager · 05-13-2011, 05:18 AM

yeh - you're right. We are only teasing. And to be honest - its the salesmans fault for not doing a proper handover!

Then I would recommend you guys to rather spend more time in your 1M and shut up and stop teasing others
