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!!!!

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

You know you can download your seat memory settings to a PC through iDrive using Bluetooth...

After losing my settings a few times and seeing others had too, it reminded me of my address book in my phone. I keep it backed up on my PC....and thought "wouldn't THAT be a cool idea"...to be able to upload/download your settings (seat and others) to a PC. I feel bad....I apologize....

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

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!

My back aches every day after getting out of the car, and I've tried every possible combo! I hate 'em! I've had my car for one year TODAY and still haven't found the sweet spot. (Good thing it doesn't take that long for me on women!
) I don't find the seats all that comfortable or deserving of all the praise they get. However, I don't have back aches when I get out. I do get a little fatigued on long drives in them, though. BTW, call me crazy, but sometimes I could swear I feel the seat surfaces (mainly the seat extension and bolsters) moving on their own sometimes!

I thought I was going crazy when I felt my seat do this. Mine is more around the back/lumbar support area.
