My Ride: Soon to be 2006 530xi Silver on gray. Premium, Premium Sound, Sports(lite), Cold Weather pkgs, Navi
Default

I have a '06 530xi that has the Sport Package and therefore the sport seats with the adjustable thigh support. Last week, the thigh plate became loose and can easily be moved fore & aft but pressing the adjustment button only results in the sound of a motor turning but no movement.

Upon further inspection, if you manually move the thigh plate - the rotary driveshaft rotates but not so if you activate the motor.

Has anybody had this problem before, and if so how difficult is it to fix oneself?

Thanks.

Same exact issue with mine for a while now. The only reason I haven't done anything about it is because I keep it fully "in" anyway.
