Its called Lumbar support

Is it true lumber support, or just side bolster inflation to keep you from sliding around in your seat when you take the corners heavily?

I also have it but find that it only to work for the first mentioned.

Did you get the R3,000 Lumbar support option, or do you just have what came standard on the sport seats ??

That's what I have but dont believe it is full lumber support. I mean it only inflates the side bolsters of your seat. What about the rest of your spine column etc.?

You have the standard Sport seat 2 way switch for the side supports

Lumbar support ( which is a R3,000 option here ) adds a 4 way switch that controls a pad by your spine

JJ, the £195 lumbar support for driver & front passenger is an option (No 488) in the UK for "electric height & depth adjustment of lumbar (lower back) support".
I've got it & the support it gives your lower back with the sports seats' side support is just great. You don't need a bad back to enjoy it!

when I read the title of this thread I thought you meant like air bubble in your seat? LOL I was like "ummm did you fart in it?" hahaha

but yeah like E90fleet said "lumbar support". I like that feature. A friend of mine found that out after being in the car a few times and loved that feature. ^^

lumbar is the best for me. i have a bad back so the lumbar and the heated seats help al ot sometimes when the back is feeling a little tighter than usual...

In the U.S. the lumbar support comes with the Premium Package. I love it, and it is adjustable 4 ways. Makes my long drive very comfortable and it's easy to change now and then.

Your total & complete artistic pickiness astounds me as usual, LEDZEP!

Nice finishing touch there. Anyway, I have the Sport Premium seats, and I find them most comfortable with everything completely deflated. I'm 6'1", 200, and I have lower back pain. Maybe I just need to be educated on the adjustment of these seats.....like the correct positioning of my side mirrors I just found out about on a different thread here today.
