Your back issue sounds exactly like mine. Can you explain exactly the size and type of cushion that you placed behind your back and where you placed it? Thanks, Don |

I cant really remember exactly what cushion I used, but I used something like this in my M4 CP as it had no lumber (cant remember where I got mine from but it was similar to this). Just some kind of camping/travel cushion. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0795WSJ...787&th=1&psc=1 As for the position, just put it at the bottom of the seat back. But of course, what works for one, doesn't always work for another, so you may have to experiment.

I had a E85 Z4, with a slipped disc it was never a good combo. seat was simply too low, I would suggest putting your seat up as high as possible so your knees are lower down. F36 has given me no problems, if you still need a cushion i would say get something small and place it in your lumber or the arch in your lower back.
Good luck I know back pain is horrible! |

Thanks for the replies. I have the lumbar support in my car and it doesn't help. I've studied all the suggestions I can find for proper adjustment of the seat, but nothing works. Wishing I could find an answer.

I had back ache when I first had my car. I realised the seat base was angled too far back so I was essentially putting my body weight on my back. I didn't realise at first because when I set the seat position it felt good being angled backwards. Then I positioned the base of the seat level so I was sitting on the seat pad with my weight through my bum and not.my back. This cured my back pain. It sounds obvious but took a while to work out what was wrong.

Ive has my 335d for almost a year now and done a few long trips and had some real back problems during that time, In particular after a 600 mile drive up to Scotland which left me in a lot of pain the following morning and lasted weeks, even with a number of osteopath appointments. I wasn’t sure at the time whether it was the drive or loading luggage.
However we are currently driving round Europe in a family camping holiday and after a long drive into France camping the very next morning I had similar pain and thought the worst. I then stumbled upon this thread and followed some of the guidance about raising the seat and angling it backwards. Wow this has made a difference for me, my back is normal again and I am enjoying driving the car more as not worried how I’ll be in the morning! Better support under my thighhs seems to have reduced the pressure in my back which now feels more supported. Fingers crossed but looks like the solution for me! Now for some autobahn fun! |

When I originally bought my first E90 some 15 years ago it was with standard seats.
That was a serious mistake. I had serious back pain that led to sciatica and a blue badge as I had difficulty in walking. After that my BMW’s always had sports seat, with heating and lumber support also when driving the seat back is tilted back at quite an angle to take the load off my vertebra. I never ever drive or sit at home with a vertical seat back. It solved it for me! Can now drive long distances with no worries and no blue badge! |
