When I ordered my car active seats with lumbar support were not available. Can bmw upgrade the seats later? If so, any idea on what it can cost? Has anyone tried something like this?

but more importantly...... while the lumbar support function is controlled by the 4-way physical switch on the side of the seat, the massaging function of the Active Seats can only be controlled via the iDrive touchscreen, I don't know if BMW will be able to program the seats in for you....(my guess is no, unless your X1 came with these seats) |

The active driver massage seat is great, I use it several times on 100+ mile journeys and my wife tried it and is gutted it’s not on the passenger seat! At £250 it’s an extremely attractive option.

is Active Seat offered as an option for the passenger(left) seat in the UK if the buyer is willing to pay an additional £250? even my cat enjoys the massage seat when I drive. He leans against the seat back to feel it, after I activate it for him. The first time I did it, he freaked out and jump out of the car(still parked inside the garage), but then he started loving it. The taller lower cushion bolsters on the M sport seats also made him feel right at home. Unfortunately, I also have the Alcantara seating surface and it's a cat fur magnet. |

😂 I can picture that cat too, they have life “sussed” those cats!
I think you need to pay for a pack of things or a very expensive seat option, if it was just another £250 I wpuld have opted for it. |

for example, I would gladly pay extra just so my X1 can have the real adaptive LED headlights like what you guys have in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. or amber rear turn signals, rear fog lights, or a true diesel engine X1!!!(one can only dream) |

My wife thinks it’s crazy that spending this level of money doesn’t get you exactly what you want and in a timely manner. She is right and the car manufacturers have got a huge amount tbey could learn about customers experience

Custom factory orders at the snap of a finger. Interesting concept.

Although I heard that even at that price, timely delivery is not included. |

😂 either way the process of ordering cars with most manufacturers is often flawed and could be better. It’s also lottery when you get it. The motor industry is ripe for an overhaul.

This is looking more Tesla like in the model, dealers will take a per car cost of handling it and little else. They are trying it in some markets but it's coming here in the future and to wider countries over the coming years. Will that mean we get things faster, no will it be fairer ordering in line with everyone else, yes it appears so. |

Indeed Monty it’s been coming for years, definitely the past decade they have been discussing. Gladly I have a car to keep for a good while now, although I was reading about the new gen of diesel that BMW are currently working on which is significantly more fuel efficient and should be with us in 2027. Great they are not giving up on ICE at BMW
