Lumbar Support

Has anyone experienced the following issues with their lumbar support:

1) Pressure and height location of lumbar changing slightly/slowly while driving (no, massage function is not active)
2) When getting into car, no matter the previous setting, lumbar is at different setting (for me the height is always high and pressure max'd)

Finally, I must say the settings are frustrating and just don't seem to do exactly what they should.

Yes, they do change. However, if you hit the memory button, they will get close to where you set them. Not a fan.

Have you ever tried to see if this is something MB service could correct? Or do they consider this proper-op?

Have not had time to bring car in, and it does not need a service right now. However, I would like to do so as I can't get rid of a couple of rattles, buzzes and the creak in the pano roof.


I love the performance, but only get to dip in to that from time to time. I have to hear all of these things every time I drive it.


My E is not screwed together any where near as well as my wife's C. No rattles, buzzes or other negative issues. It seems like it's carved out of a single block of billet.


I'll keep her car, but mine is being returned at the end of the lease. For what Im paying, I should not have to address these issues.
