 Seat Adjustments - Manual vs. Power



Drove a 325i for the first time, and it drives beautifully (no surprise).

The only thing is I had trouble getting completely comfortable in seating position (I drove a car with manual seat adjustments).

Do the power seat adjustments with the Premium Package add alot to the ability to find good seating positions?

No, but they do add the ability to save that position. Not important if you are the only one driving the car. However the PP adds lumbar support which can give you more comfort.

I think the Sport package does more with regards to comfort, those seats are awesome (But larger people may have a problem with them).

Remember that manual seats save you about 50 lbs, are far less likely to break (and much easier to fix if they do), and allow you to make fast adjustments much easier. I prefer them in almost every way to the power equivalent...though I don't have any use for the memory function. It might be a bit different otherwise.

My new 330ci is the first Bimmer I've had with power seats...you can put them anywhere...too many anywhere's as far as I'm concerned. So I guess you could say I prefer manual. I'm the only person who drives the car, so the memory is only used for cleaning under the seat (One for me, one for way up and forward, one for way up and backwards). Not an option I use a lot or the tilt/telescope wheel...if you get it anywhere from the "standard" German driving position you can't see the top of speedo or tach. I'm 6 2 so that's probably part of the problem. My ti had manual seats and no adjustable steering and was much more comfy than the ZHP on long trips.

I was planning on ordering my care without premium, and therefore manual seats. I was also planning on sport package. My one concern is that it shows the lumbar support only on the premium package. Does anyone know if the Sports seat also has lumbar support adjustment?
