Hi

I've read that in the new 5 series you get partially electric seats as standard. Would anybody be able to tell me what exactly that includes and which parts are not electric

Thanks

On my sports seats I have

Back rest angle - electric

Seat angle - electric

Seat height - electric

Seat width - electric

movement of the seat forwards and backwards is by way of mechanical lever - not electric

Hope this helps

[mozs11]

Thank you very much

Are they coming with memory function?

Not as standard. It's an optional extra

I would suggest if you are considering going full electric, then the comfort seats are not much more in cost really and worth thinking about.

Unfortunately, it will not fit into my company budget I have to stay with sport seats

The standard sport seat is not bad either. However full electric seat gives in addition electric control of movement of seat forward/backward, extension of the high support, memory function and in addition automatic mirror tilting whilst reversing, you are not going to get tilting mirror even if you tick folding mirror option without full electric seat. This is from my personal experience.

I did not try comfort seats, and perhaps should have. But very happy with electric sports seats. I have all that you mention except that extension of thigh support is manual. Mirror does tilt on reverse.

I'm not even sure what seats I have but I know they are not the comfort seats. As far as I can tell, the only thing they lack is the electric thigh support. It is manual. Oh, and no massage. They even have adjustable bolster which my 2014 535i with comfort seats did not have. The seats are very comfortable.
