Can Seat tilt angle be adjusted? **SEAT ADJUSTMENT GUIDE**

[alexk]

I believe you my friends, that's why I will take them out today or tomorrow !

Seat angle solutions !!!

PS: my wife will be very happy with this :thumbs:

im pretty sure there are 3 holes :thumbs: fronts are slotted and rears are not.

I am under the impression that my seats had 2 and 2 holes.
I will take them out these days and check it.

By the way, the small screws that get screwed are a set with number 10 -> http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E4...eat_seat_rail/

Check the cost, I asked the dealer and freaked out !
Ridiculous ! 2 plastic things and 2 screws 700 CHF !!!

what??? you guys didnt know about thos :gayfight:


















jk.. i just stumbled across this thread tonight and made my changes. OMG.. btw, orig my seats were at the orig settings... all the way to the lowest setting and it took a while for my back to adjust to the angle. now i have the rears set to the middle postion and the fronts to the highest setting. not only did it raise the seat a bit, it gave me a great angle which gives me alot more comfort. i wish did this 4 years ago when i first put in the CSL interior :smt055

Steve - seeing as you're even more of a short arse than me

:axe:

LOL :whistle:

I wish they would sit lower, 1 below the lowest in the rear would be great I think.

? I still don't find the seats too comfy, might help with a change of position

anyone fancy helping me check mine out when we are over at the ring :whistle:

Forward fixing at their highest setting
Rear fixing at the middle height setting

I've had mine like this for 2 years now and find it to be spot on :thumbs:

This might sound like a stupid question but can you see what setting the seat is on before taking anything apart?

I'd second this after trying Roly's on Sunday, will be doing mine too :thumbs:

old old thread but...

I adjusted the seat heights today after I tried Roly’s setup at the weekend, the back height remained on the lowest setting but I made the front adjustment to the middle adjustment slot (was on the lowest).

This made the seat a lot more comfortable imo with more back support and the seat hugs you much much better. Without doubt recommend this.

I have tried a couple of times but couldn't really see - however, that was before I saw that drawing and knew exactly what I was looking for (it is obviously too dark to go have a look right now :whistle: )

[Mark CSL]

The little screws are not the best to get out :banghead: :moan:

Feedback

I removed and adjusted both seats yesterday and found it a relatively straightforward exercise as described by Neil earlier in thread. Both my seats were on the lower settings front and rear, hence the upright driving position!

My only addition to Neil's advice is to consider taking out the small grub screw holding the adjustment lever in place first of all. I found my drivers side screw badly rounded and almost could'nt get it out - would have been irritating to find that out having already removed the seat! Need to order a replacement screw...

The seats are even better now and the steering wheel falls more comfortably in my grasp too. Off for a drive now! :smt023
