No "Backrest Width" on mine.
No "High Beam Assistant" (M guys at 'European M5 Launch' were surprised with this) No "TPM with actual tire pressure readout and temperature" - while i couldn't find this in the manual, i was under impression it would be on car - M guys were surprised at that as well. Let me know if you get anywhere - i'm most disappointed with HBA and TPM (as i have had backrest width before)

So far I have 15 M5's with no buttons. I'm going to go ahead and say that no 2013 M5 models including regular 2013 5-Series 528i, 535i, and 550i BMW's, from what I have heard, have the "Backrest Width" adjustment buttons. I will be contacting BMW NA customer relations again this afternoon. Thanks guys!

I have a copy of the bmwusa web page when it advertised 20 way seats.

Better read the fine print which would have some legalese stating "they reserve the right to change specifications without notice blah blah blah...."

In any event, nobody is talking about suing BMW yet, we are talking about pressuring them to to do right by their U.S. customers who have each spent approximately $100k on their cars. |

I really think BMW should either replace 2 front seats or give us something else like free ceramic brake upgrades. I ordered my car in May and it clearly said 20 adjustable seat functions.

Guys I've done a bit more research today and I found out that in order to get the "Backrest Width" adjustment buttons we would have to pay an extra $17,000 dollars. The option for the 2 extra buttons is in a special package called the 2013 BMW M6! LOL! No, just kidding!
But seriously, I found that the seats in the 2013 F12 and F13 M6 come with the side bolster buttons but not the M5 for the same model year. Now this really doesn't make any sense. I guess the M5 isn't sporty enough to warrant BMW putting them on the car (sarcasm). Ok, I will try and contact BMW NA Customer Relations as soon as I get home today. Should be interesting! Stay tuned...

What I meant to say is yes its included in the seats I ordered (executive package). This will be real interesting come delivery time as I have included the Sales Manager and he has pulled up records and confirmed with BMW Canada. Something is really off ..

I don't have them either. And I have both screenshots and ordering guide PDF which say that my car should have had 20 way seats. So one could make a case that they didn't deliver what we paid for.
