Do you think the US M5's have the side bolster hardware installed?
Like the rear foglights have been installed in all BMWs and you just needed to order the Euro switch to activate them?
I drove a friend's X6M today and found out that missing the side bolsters is a HUGE problem (for me anyway) I've been looking through realoem.com on the European versions and the USA versions and it looks like the seat hardware is the same - but I haven't found the part number for the side bolster switch yet. Although I have to warn that I'm not an engineering major so I may have missed the difference in looking at the two seats online. |

Great question - I'd bet it does. I'm sure someone will eventually figure out the part number with retrofit instructions.

Totally 100% agree with you. Never used them, in fact i thought they were very annoying.

What is the side bolster 'hardware'? My UK 2012 M5 can pull the side bolsters in more but it doesn't do it like the old E60 did when you go through the bends.

The thread is about adjustable bolsters. It seems reasonable that if you want to be able adjust away height, or cushion length, you may also want to adjust seat width.

This is what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the 'active' side bolsters. I just want the ability to tighten up the seat.

I do agree, would be nice to have them in my car. I am getting use to the lack of them in the car but always nice to feel the seat hug you!
