If any of you happy-go-lucky, bright eyed, bushy tailed lads out there suffer lower back pain whilst driving, please take warning from this, and do something about it.
I finished up on crutches and a disabled blue badge. I was just a step away from a wheelchair.
The key is ‘lumber support’. If your motor hasn’t got it built into the back of the seat, get a shaped lumber support cushion, now. Good ones are available on fleabay for about £10 or so.
It’s well worth it. I persevered and luckily, am now free of crutches and the blue badge. Posture whilst driving is really important! Believe me!
I had never suffered from ‘backache’ so when I placed my order for a new E90 320i SE (non leather) three or so years ago I never gave it a thought. ‘Lumbar support’ was and is an extra item (488).
I have now on order a new 320D M-Sport Le Mans Blue. Yes! It will have leather sport seats with ‘lumbar support’.
Expect to take deliver in a couple of weeks.
Will post some pics after a few test drives!
