Picked up a new 2013 E63 with PP and maybe it's just me being stupid, but how do you adjust the side bolsters?

I am finding going around a corner with any speed is like driving a bed.

There should be the side bolster adjusters between your seat and the center console...

Since you are across the pond it will be to your left down below where the seat belt hooks up... you will see the switches and flat like lever that you will need to press to the right to inflate your bolsters. For a more aggressive bolster movement set the bolsters to setting 2 (both lights on). That button should be in front the inflation button. Then set your preferences into memory via the seat memory button.

I think this is right.

I don't think I have this button.. Here's a view of my driver side

You don't have dynamic seat option.

marketing_guy

So there no way I can make the seat fit better?

Seems odd for a car built to be driven fast you have no side support at all.

I guess the dynamic seat option is not standard there.

Vic55

Damn UK fit cars dont have dynamic seats? WTF... its part of the P1 here... did you get a P1 package?

benzmodz

It can be fitted to the seat. It takes power from the same lines which power the memory module.

vdubpower

yeah but u have to add in the air bags that inflate /deflate

benzmodz

It can be added. It's not that hard.

wow, weird you don't get that.....I LOVE that side bolstering business

Koenigsegg's owner said something like this in one video: "How much customization can we do? I tell them if you give us enough money, we can also build you a helicopter."

It has to be ticked on the option box before the car is made. The E63 I bought, I didn't spec. After phone calls to and from the dealer it turns out the car has no bolster support at all.

Traded it in for the M6 now anyways.

vdubpower

wait i thought u had an a m6 and then when u learned of the recall, u bought the e63 just now....and were gonna get refund on beemer

Don't get all sentimental on me and start talking about the guy in brazil who built a helicopter out of pots and rope. Because the last thing I will ever do is feel pity for someone who can afford tires and gas for an AMG car.

I said clearly it can be done. The cost is about 6k for both seats and it would take about 2 days. If that is too much then I highly recommend used seats and just swap out the frames.

Hardly the same as building an aircraft. An aircraft only takes half a day since the wings just bolt on.

If you search my name you will see that I am discussing how to put c63 seats in any w204. To me it was harder to do the software than understand basic seat mechanics. It really is a bolt on.

It's a long story, but I bought the M6 on the 12th, the day it rolled into their showroom, I traded in my F10 M5 for it. I wasn't allowed to drive it until the 15th as that was the official launch date in the UK for the M6, BMW UK wouldn't allow it.

Then on the 16th I go on vacation and get a phone call saying the car has been recalled. All they offer is me an X3 as a loaner which I wasn't happy with. So I went out and bought a new E63 and demanded a refund on the M6, which I was entitled to.

Then the BMW dealer cut me a deal on Tuesday saying they'd buy the Mercedes off of me (and take the depreciation hit) and give me a M3 loaner until the pump for the M6 is in which was ok with me.

The pump should be in next week until then, my M6 is sat in the showroom and they've taken ownership of the E63.

vdubpower

ok when u get your m6, we will ship u back to bimmer boards

otakki

I wonder what's the BMW dealer's goal of taking ownership of an E63 and taking the depreciation hit. Does it mean the M6 is that difficult to move from the dealership?...probably not. Or is the dealer trying to up M's credential by showing potential customers that someone has traded in a brand new E63 after driving a M5/M6?
