I searched the internet for 6 months looking for a '16 535d xdrive with multi contour seats and those cars were few and far between. When found the vehicles were often painted black (a very popular BMW color it seems) or had too many miles. In short, it was worth the wait. Mine have the heating and cooling option (they actually get cold), but no massage feature. However, my 535d is not an M-sport.

If the seats get actually cool (or even cold) when one pushes the button, then, aside from semantics, I've never considered how this might be accomplished. But nevertheless, I'll concede that you're probably correct. Thanks

I searched long and far for my CPO 14 and its napa comfort seats, which were a must-have. The ventilation isn't "cooled" but it's very effective. It is heated ventilation when seat heating is on.

Comfort Seats F10 - Passenger seat memory
Quote:
reaching out as you said you have the comfort seats. I have the comfort seats in my 2014 F11 520d, and had such in my 2006 E60 523i. (both European). I'm 100% sure, as is my wife, that memory in the car key for both seats (driver and passenger) in both cars (F11 and E60 was storing also the passenger seat position. I.e. when I was opening the cars with my key the passenger seat would move to my wife's preferred position, and when my wife was opening the cars with her key the passenger seat would move to my preferred position. I noticed a couple of months ago, that on the F11 the passenger seat is no longer moving in such way. I sold the E60 around that time (and I replaced it with 1984 E23 732i), therefore I cannot check if passenger seat in E60 moved that way indeed (although as I said I'm 100% sure it did on both cars). The dealers in Dublin told me it's only the driver seat's position which is programmed in the key (not the passengers). Of course, I can use the buttons on the door, which do work, but the whole point was that I vividly remember the passenger seat moving too when I or my wife pressed the unlock button on our car keys. I was reading a US manual - it mentions vaguely that memory in the key is for driver's seat, steering wheel and mirrors, which seems to indicate that it's not for passenger seat. I spent a long time playing with profiles in iDrive, but it didn't help. Do you (or anybody else reading this forum) know the answer? and can confirm/disprove that the passenger seats position is also stored in the car key memory so that then the car is unlocked the passenger seat travels to a pre-set position? Thanks |
