Hello
I am having some problems with my drivers seat. The car is a 2004 545I non-spot premium package.
The seat seems to be slanted on an angle no matter what I try to do. When I put it to the highest position it is pretty straight but when I try going lower it goes lower in an angle/slant. This is not the problem on my passengers seat. I have a premium package so I believe my seats are 10 way adjustable if that helps.
If pictures will help I will upload them asap.
I appreciate all your help and would like to comment that this is a very informative community and has helped me in many ways over the years.

I once had a similar problem with my e32 740 ... it was the adjusting cables controlling the seatback. I found a fix that involved adjusting and re-clamping the cables that reclined the seatback ... your problem might be similar ... here's a post about that

You may want to check to make sure you don't have anything obstructing your seat. I had a penny fall in the track and could not move my seat back and I also had a sippy cup under the seat which cause issues.... I know it is a long shot but sometimes it is the simple stuff.
