Does anyone else feel like their dynamic seats have a mind of their own?
I'm not referring to the side bolsters, obviously those are supposed to be active and I love them. For some reason my seat seems to randomly inflate the lower back support at certain points in a drive, and I've also noticed the leg support under my thigh inflating at random times as well. Is there some kind of setting that I have turned on that I could turn off? It's a little annoying to get jabbed in the lower back randomly during a drive.

Mine do that too. I have had passengers say "what is going into my back?" The seats were never set to pulse or moved with the buttons at anytime.
It's rare though. Maybe it's a program to just move them at times to keep them working.

Mine did that too. If you search, it's very common. Never saw anyone identify a fix. I like the base E55 seats better, no such annoyances with them.

Are there any fuses that could be pulled or anything that could be adjusted to make it where the side bolsters still have the dynamic feature but the middle of the seat doesn't move?

There is a air valve distrubution block in the back rests which can act up. I had a valve that got stuck open and filled my side bolsters slowly during a drive until they were fully inflated without having the dynamic seats activated. A new valve block is over $1000 I think and used ones are around $200-300.

Work is fine for me, but I do get just a tad bit wary in mall parking lots and shopping centers so I tend to park further away against a side curb that protects my car. I am able to park, using my reverse mirror, very close to the curb leaving a nice buffer from the next adjacent spot which require severe parking douchebaggery from that driver to come close to my car.
Ditto, for me..........I referee soccer on the weekends, so my bigger fear is an irate player/parent...I always try to position myself for the quick getaway!

2019 SLC 43 AMG is FINALLY here: got notice yesterday that the SLC 43 AMG 2019 is released from the customs warehouses and will be delivered after 6 months wait since it arrived in the US. We ordered the car in June last year, waited 3 months for it to arrive and another 6 months for MB to do the correct paperwork to import the car. Our MB dealer felt so bad, he gave us a SLC 300 as a temporary loaner while we waited) Great Guy!
