Wow, great, thanks guys. That all makes sense. It must take a week or more to find the perfect position with so many options.
That's right, so once you find that perfect [seat ] position make sure you save it!

Here's each control, numbered, each number allows you to control the seat in a certain direction (left, right, up, down).

Attachment 63793

I'm not familiar with #5, #6, #15 and #16 since I don't have those controls.

I believe Iceman has detailed their actions already...

Nice job !!!!!

Love my comfort seats, they are awesome...

It does take a bit of time to dial them in but when you do every part of your butt, back, shoulders, thighs, head... is supported. Then bring the side bolsters in (that release everytime you exit the car) and you are ready for lift off

There should be a way to lock your settings. Everytime i valet (not that often), they change the settings and ALWAYS hit & save into memory

A few months in to owning my 535, the seat developed a squeak. Took it in to get it looked at, they "kindly" fitted a new seat frame - AND LOST MY SETTINGS!!! Had to start all over

I've heard so many great things about these comfort seats, but they drive me mad every time I get them in a courtesy car from BMW, because I don't have the car for long enough to find a comfortable position!! On a positive note, it means it doesn't take BMW 1-2 weeks to service my car

I have the LCI Sport seats in my E60 and must say they are very good -- I do about 1000km per week in that seat! However if I'd had enough budget left over, I would have gone for Comfort Seats to get the Ventilated Seats option -- its a real shame you can't that option in combination with Sports Seats.

But they are not pressable (?), there isn't a function for them.

i think #15 & #16 are the best features.......like ur locked in and i feels awesome....im not sure if u guys are aware but i think only in the M versions these side lumbars actually comes into play and grips u into position when u make drastic hard turns, feels almost like a glove!!!!

Yep.

It takes one or two weeks, that's correct.
Once you have found the perfect position for you, you will love your seat and don't want to have a regular seat again.
One or two weeks? Try 7 months & two E60's with these seats....and still counting the time till I get comfy. I have yet to find the perfect position or anywhere near it. My back aches every day after getting out of the car, and I've tried every possible combo! I hate 'em!
