Pulling the seat back in the E92 is difficult

timn · 11-11-2008, 08:12 PM

Has anyone had trouble with pulling the seat back to normal after a passenger gets in? My passenger side seat is much more difficult to pull back to normal than the drivers side.

Both seatbacks in my E92 swing back to their normal position smoothly. Sounds like something is binding in your passenger seatback.

mine has no issues at all.

I'd go visit the dealer for a comparison to those on the lot.

I had this same issue, brought it to the dealer and they fixed it...works just like the driver's side one now.

Thanks for the heads up my 7 year old daughter has a tough time with the seat but now I know there is an issue.
