Need help with E90 with sport package

ottomatic · 09-06-2008, 11:58 PM

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Can anyone tell me if the side bolster are power adjusted on the E90 with sport package w/ a manual seat. I test drove one with the power seat and the side bolster could be power adjusted on the bottom lower left of the driver seat. Is this the same with out the power seat option? Thanks in advance.

People really get a luxury sedan without power seats?

Yes, people are dumb and think they don't need it, but then they realize they do.

Are you speaking from experience? I have manual sport seats and don't see the need for power seats. I am the only user of the car, I haven't touched the seat adjustments since I got the car.

OP, yes manual sport seats have power adjustable side bolsters

If you dont get the premium package (in the US) you dont get power seats, unless you pick them as an option.

I have seen alot of E90's without power seats.

To answer the OP question, yes they are adjustable without power.

IIRC, power seats are standard on the 335 and optional on the 328.

Thanks everybody. I'm going to be picking up this vehical next week. Is there a big difference in handling btw the sport and non-sport? I've only driven the sport. Also, I've ready that there's been feathering problems with some the OEM tires, have any of you experienced this? Thanks in advance.

and if you keep the car once its out of warranty, less things to worry about going wrong.

I find electrical seat adjustments too slow.

In short, the answer is yes. The 3 series is a good handling car, but sport suspension on more powerful versions really makes the difference when pushing hard. read a test on 335 with sport vs non sport and guys were saying it transforms the handling, no more rolls, sharper handling, higher slalom speeds, etc.
