M5 has the same seats...?

pupi · 04-26-2008, 03:21 PM

the other day i drove an M5 and when you turn or brake, the seat press or close to you. It´s the same in the M3?

M3 does not have active seats

the_stranger · 04-26-2008, 03:39 PM

pupi · 04-26-2008, 03:44 PM

The M3 does have these extra support on both of the sides of the seat that you can adjust for a tight feel.

Yes! they want to sell us the car they have. I hate them, and always the buyers knows more than sellers.

IMO, I found the active side bolsters quite distracting...while taking a turn as I'm focused on the road, I get a sudden jolt to the side. I'm glad that I didn't get that feature

that would probably be a very weird feature. sounds cool once or twice, but might get old after a bit.

the M5's seats dont quite hold you in as good as the M3's do.

inmotion · 04-28-2008, 01:42 PM

the active seats work quite well, but if you're taking it to the track, then it certainly does not respond fast enough. However, there is a setting to adjust the bolster fixed support level.
