Ive recently done a SE to MSport seat retrofit

The M Sport seats are manually Operated and have electric bolsters

I love the extra support of the seats soooooo much better than the SE , however no matter what adjustment I do I cannot get under my thighs to rest on the pull out thigh support is this normal ?

I'm 5 ft11 and with the seat fully back , seat base at full height or dropped down the extra thigh support seems a bit useless to me

Anyone else found this ?
 
Yeah Ive got the seat tilted back , the other handle lifts the seat base providing your not sat in the seat, this allows you to lower the seat if required , tried all sorts of adjustment , my legs must be too long !

Possibly with shorter legs you may get your thighs to rest

Would have thought there would be some adjustment to tilt the leading edge of the seat base so it moulds to the back of your knee

At the moment Ive just pushed the thigh support back in , does nothing for me
 
Both sets of original bmw seats are totally useless. I swapped mine out completely for an aftermarket set. 100 times better.
 
Yes I did the same thing, and didn't find any use for the pop out thigh rest.. can't see why you would need it! MSport seats are so much more comfortable and supportive than the base ones.
 
Only issue with sport seats are lack of lumbar. What a stupid thing to make an option. After 2hrs my back is painful.
