2012 335i Seat question

shivaswrath · 10-30-2012, 06:16 PM

ive been noticing this recently in my drivers seat,but over highway bumps, my drivers seat is excessively bouncey, like a spring is broken...onky 1500 miles on it so def not my fat ass.
Im new to BMW seating, but wanted a sanity check before i mention it to the dealer...
thx!

sounds like you are driving in sport or sport + mode because I know mine will beat you to death in those if the roads not smooth.

it's independent of driving mode.

UPDATE: Took it in this morning, they're looking into it, going to email Germany. Also checking out the TSB re: Auto Start/Stop, and seeing if they can install the M Perf Suspension, which is coming to basically the same price as the Dinan Stage 1 kit (including M perf stabilizer bars).

UPDATE: Was missing a clip on the back seat, replaced and should be fine.
