Strange. Looks like you have the seats with adjustable lumbar but no buttons to control them. The buttons are usually on top of the bottom seat adjuster button.

how do you figure his seats have adjustable lumbar from that photo?!

if you look at Stoshu's photo, the lumbar adjuster is the 4-way circular toggle in front of the bottom seat adjuster...same as my 45e with multifunctional seats (US model)

I know seating for G05 international markets vary from standard Sport seats with minimal electronic controls to multi-contour (see attached - there are 3 seating controls for G05 seating depending on market).

Vernasca perforated leather Sport seats are standard in UK and one would need to option Comfort Package to upgrade to Comfort seats which would include lumbar adjustments including upper backrest etc.

Would be helpful to know which UK model/line and packages optioned.

By the way, try reaching just under the seat where the lumbar support is to see if there is a handle to adjust those. It might just not be electronic

All seating controls on the G05 are fully electric.

I meant just for the lumbar support. I remember some 3 series had all electric seats but the lumbar was manual. I think even some X5's at some point.

Thanks guys - I have the G05 xDrive 40i M Sport - should have mentioned that in the first post.

I do not have the comfort package as I specifically did not want the keyless opening etc. So looks like I have the basic seats, although I thought adjustable lumbar was a basic thing! I still find them comfortable fortunately enough, just read up on adjustable lumbar support online and wondered why I didn't have it!

Thanks guys!

Agreed, surprised to that they're not standard as they are in the USA market. Hopefully it's not part of the broader de-contenting due to supply constraints - the MY21 X3/4 models also saw a deletion of lumbar adjustment in the past couple of months.
