I encourage all of you to test drive it with the SA after to rule out squeaks or loose leather, since reassembling won't be the easiest and contingent on the skill of the master tech doing the work...

We also have rusty seats in China, all the models,320i 328i, both SA and DE. I heard some rusty seats have been changed by dealers, but no message shows that BMW China will recall it. What's the situation of you guys in your country? Does anyone get notice that BMW will recall it?

BMW may not issue a recall just for the rusty seat frames because it's not a safety issue. (debatable though...) But there may be a "service bulletin" sooner or later, hopefully, if many owners are reporting to BMW through dealers.... |

rusty seats
Spoke to my dealer and was told there will be a replacement or updated frames, which should be out around May. They told me to wait until the updated seat frames are out and they will replace them.

I don't know that I'd go that far. This isn't really time critical, so it's not like you'll miss an opportunity. No one is anywhere near the tail end of their warranty at this point. Asking for it in writing is blatantly stating that you don't trust them which, in turn, could lessen their willingness to work with you.

It's been 2 weeks and my service advisor has not heard back from BMW. I am giving it one more week and calling corporate directly.

According to BMW North America my seat frames were ordered on January 3 but I have not heard anything from my local dealer.

UPDATE, all installed and done. Am I the first in the US? The new frames have a really thick coat, it's interesting...
