It takes me a while to find the perfect seat position. You can imagine how pissed I get when my sister screws with my memory buttons.

Thank god , i thought i was becoming old(er) and cranky!
And i bet you still doing some "minor" adjustments" .. I have standard seats unfortunately and no position memory ...
The other day my fiance wanted to go for a drive -for the first time- without asking me. I was out in the garden when i saw my car getting parked. I was half naked and started running towards the car yelling like an hysterical little woman and pulling my hair. She said "don't worry, didn't scratch it" ,
and i was mumbling in a semi-crying tone - "the seat ... you changed the seat ..."

But its very wierd that the car didnt come with at least M1 and M2 with the regular power seats. My 528 has nothing fancy, as a matter of fact mine even has the "leatherette" but my Memomry is there..
Well good luck with this.

Imagine that, a sister pushing your buttons!? I have 2 sisters, they ALWAYS try to push my buttons, and I NEVER let them near my car!!

No offence to you guys who are comfy but are you what we would call "larger" ???
I notice most of you guys who are quite tall seem pretty happy ??
I'm 5'11 and only 85kg/nearly 12 stone, the problem for me personally is actually getting the middle of my back properly supported, the lumbar controls make no difference and are worthless to me.
The rest of the seat is spot on tho, I love the Bolster adjustment and makes a nice difference when having the ability to tighten things up on a sporty drive or track time.

i was furious that the valet changed my seat. i bitched about it the whole way home to a friend. they must have thought i was the biggest baby in the world. i used to valet park, you NEVER adjust a customers seat especially if it is a 9 billion way seat. i would have taken my tip back if i could. 10 on the way in, 5 on the way out. i was furious.
it has been a month, i havent been able to get it quite right since.
