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.

from what your saying it sounds like the mechanism that untilts the seat maybe out or out of whack. Upload a pic and let us see...

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.
