M235i seat question

blbroo · 03-22-2018, 07:35 PM

The dealer had my passenger seat out today to replace a seat belt receiver. I'm not sure how it would be possible, but it seems like the seat doesn't go back as far as it did before. All of the way back, my passengers head is in my line of sight and I don't remember it being that way. The driver seat goes back a few inches farther than the passenger.

I've only had it a few weeks now, so I might be wrong.

Would another owner check their seats for me and see if the driver has more backward travel than the passenger?

Thanks

So far, I'm loving the car and am really happy with my decision.

Passenger seat travel should be the same as drivers seat travel. They may need to readjust things for you. I'd take it back sooner than later to have them check it out for you.

I've got to stop back by today anyway, since they neglected to put the emissions test paperwork in the car or the sticker on the window.

Would still be great if someone could check their seats for me.

I’m curious also about seat travel - I’d check my car for you but I’m away from home.

The travel distance of both front seats should be the same

I checked and both seat bottoms go back the same distance

Sometimes I'm dumb. I realized that the seat was raised all of the way up, and when that happens, it swings forward a few inches.

Sorry for the false alarm.
