Concern about Multi-contour seats

I just got delivery of my 2011 535i with multi-contour seats. Upon first adjusting my seat, I was surprised by the lack of "backrest width" control. I had this option on my 2008 E60 with multi-contour seats. I checked the on-screen manual and it states there is backrest width control (although this may be generic for all BMW cars).

Does anyone know if BMW demoted the multi-contour seats from 20-way to 18-way last minute, or if this change to eliminate the backrest width was planned from the launch/introduction of the 2011 5 Series?

I was curious about that as well, When I picked my 2011 535 I was looking to adjust that too. I had that on other BMW's I checked the manual and it shows two small buttons, Next to the lumbar control but I looked and I dont see them on mine.
But it has not been a big problem just would be nice to be able to adjust them.

Do you have a link or thread title? A search turned up nothing extremely obviously relating to the seats...

Each owner's manual in the car is VIN Specific. However, I was wondering that as well. I LOVED that part of the Comfort Seats in the 5. I will check tomorrow if the 7 Series seat has those buttons.

The 7 still does. My mom has an '09 750Li with the multi-contour seats, and they have the backrest width controls
