Inflatable seat sides - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

magic77 · 08-01-2012, 03:21 AM

Noticed recently that the bolsters on my msport seats are no longer staying inflated.

I had them replaced when the car was two years old under the warranty but now with car on extended its not viable to get looked at again.

Has anyone experienced this and found a the cause. Will try to strip the seat down over the weekend any pointers would be appreciated

thanks

How quickly do they go down? Minutes, hours or days?

Mine go down after a few days, never bothered me, as I usually adjust them when I get in anyway to cater for having a jacket on etc, or being full of sunday roast!

I would say less than hour

Oh right, sounds a bit leaky.

The button operates some sort of release, maybe that is passing air?
