Why is the front of the leg extension part not sewn into place. why does it just flap around, if feels as if it has some plastic peice and you can kind of tuck it into the metal part on the front underside of the seat, but the slightest movement just pops it back out. this is EXTREMELY poor craftmanship and this is the single most hated part of my car. if one more person gets in my car and says "your seat is messed up" i am gonna die. I have already brought it to the dealer, they said thats how they are and they agree it is dumb.

Happened to me too. It didn't in my previous E61, but in the new it happens all the time. Annoying!

Sorry, no idea what you're referencing. Can you post a pic? I've not had anyone comment on my seats.

I have sport seats and also found that problem besides being one of the worst seats I have ever "tried"

The front extension which 'craigm1841' is talking about is only available with sport seats ( Sports Package).
