E93 Questions

Steve335i · 04-22-2011, 09:34 AM

Are the rear headrests adjustable or removable? How? The manual says they are adjustable but I'm not getting them to move.

What can be done to stop the rear seat belts from fluttering when the top is down?

Is that cheesy backseat center armrest for real?

Yes Head rests are adjustable. Up and down and foward and back.

My seatbelts have never fluttered.

The E93 is flawless IMO.

BUT, to help with the wind, buy the $400 wind deflector. I'm toying with buying one for myself. Anyone have one? Like it?

I don't know where you see in the manual that the rear seat headrests are adjustable. It does say you can adjust them - in the coupe.

Unless they changed this for the '11 model?

And my seat belts have never fluttered with the top down either.

My bad. I thought he meant the front ones. I did not read the OP correctly. No the rears are not adjustable to my knowledge.

YES! I have the wind deflector and LOVE IT! I feel it makes a huge difference with wind that seems to come back through the center of the seats. It is MUCH more comfortable to drive in cooler weather (50-60 degrees) with the deflector and the top down.

A friend of mine bought it for me on eBay for $383 shipped.

Highly recommended.

You definitely need the wind deflector! It makes a huge difference. With the windows and the deflector up, you can hardly feel a breeze.

Our dealer gave us the deflector as a present when we purchased the car.

+1 with driving in cooler weather.

Early morning breakfast runs are king with the roof down!

you can hear the beast so much better!!

the first and only accessory i have is the the wind deflector (without the wind drawn on it-there are 2 options one all black one with some white/grey striping)

MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE

I drove from las vegas to San diego Top down wind deflector up- LOVELY!

after reading this I am seriously considering a wind deflector...

edit: just bought one... damn you all!

but hey I grabbed it for 250 + 39 bucks shipping.

ehem...

roadkillrob · 04-23-2011, 07:31 AM

Wind deflector is worth the money (almost - it is a rip off, but makes a huge difference!) You can find them on ebay for much better prices, I think I paid about $279 shipped on mine a couple years ago.

How do you know you drive an E93 vs E9x?

Your body is tan not just your left arm

I would suggest the second one be a SmartTop.

THAT IS EXACTLY what I have been looking for.

I want to get in my car, turn it on, plug my iphone in (music) and put the top down at the same time. 1&2 are easy 3&4 not so much.

Thanks man!
