E89 switch button

[GU14BEY]

Hi all, what is the switch button on the underside of the both driver and passenger seats? Thanks

if its the rocker switch on the outside corners of the seat base , then its the side bolster adjustments - ie to squash you in during exuberant driving!

Go out and try them - you can't break anything

if you have manual seats you will have one rocker style switch. This inflates/deflates the airbags inside the seat to adjust the 'snugness' (made up word) of the seat around you. With the car running just press one side, if nothing happens press the other side and you will soon feel it working (unless its broken)
If you have electric seats you have the same switch and an additional round rocker type switch which moves the lumbar support adjusters.

I think the lumbar adjustment was an (expensive) option even if you have electric seats? :?

Yeah, it was very expensive! Always wondered why this was?

My 2010 E89 has manual heated seats. No switches. Just 2 levers on the side for height and tilt adjustments. There are 2 knockouts where the much desired switches would go.

Hi, the side bolster adjuster isn’t really on the side of the seat, it’s more on the front corner. I’m wondering if it’s just fitted to M sport seats, what style seats are fitted to your car? :?

I have a base model Z with heated seats. But I think the frills stop there. I see 2 button blanks in the front corner of the side base cover where the other adjusters would be ... ? See pics & excuse the mess..
