E90 M3 Lumbar support uneven/crooked

wootloops · 05-26-2015, 10:41 AM

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if this is the right section - mods, feel free to move it if it's not.

I recently purchased a used 2011 E90 M3 about two weeks ago. Absolutely love the car. However, I noticed something a few days ago that may seem minor, but it is enough to annoy the crap out of me.

The driver's seat back cushion seems to be uneven where the lumbar support bladder is inflating. See the attached pic, but the side closest to the center armrest seem to stick out more than the side closer to the door. Has anyone seen this before? My car's factory warranty is up in a little under two weeks but I'm not sure if BMW will do anything about this or not.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

-Matt

Take it to the dealer before your warranty goes out

Yep. I'd do the same Woot, make a run to the dealer. Would annoy me big time a well, you want to have a fresh car and seat well. Looks like a big boy have been using that seat for too long mate!

Ok cool. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being ridiculously picky.

Spoke with the dealer and going to bring it in next week to have it looked at. Hopefully they do something about it.
