2011.5 E90 Question
This is aimed at fellow forum members who purchased an E90 post September build for 2011 (2011.5).
Did anyone receive fully electric seats or were you like me, and got them semi-manual with electric buttons for the lumbar support? Any input would be appreciated since the online build tool on bmw.ca is still indicating fully electric seats for 2011. In advance, thanks.

EDIT: I just wrote my CA to inquire. I'd be pissed if I received an $85k car with manual seats that wasn't a track specific GT3 etc...

Seriously??? You got the US Spec manual seats? WTF??? I'll sure be pissed if mines come with manual seats. I'm with ns2000x... Now I'm worried too for my Nov2010 build E90 M3!!!
Have you taken any action with your dealer yet? Do you have any avenues for recourse? Complimentary swap to full power seats? The currently online brochure indicates full power seats: http://crm.bmw.ca/com/en/newvehicles...ml?currPage=47

I know that my dealer ordered a e90 as well when my e92 came in. It had manual seats, but they ordered power seat...

There isn't even an option in the online configurator to differentiate manual and power seats. The only option is the power adjustable seat widths within the premium package (or as an $1100 single line item), but that's supposed to be just for the seat width. Maybe this toggles the build option between manual and power? Just curious fastrack, who's your dealer? BMW Kelowna?

I'm hoping my line item order for adjustable seat widths (@$1100) is going to save my ass - literally AND figuratively. OP, did you order the premium pack? Or just adjustable seat widths? Or neither? How about you ns2000x?

Chowster, if your car is a November build you must be expecting it in the next couple of weeks. Please let me know how your car arrives. I'd much rather have this argument with BMW before I'm standing in the Welt looking in my car for the first time with nothing on my mind but anger.

ED too?!? That would ruin my entire German vacation! I'm sure there would be one hell of an echo in the Welt delivery area when you flame the delivery specalist with some choice Canadian words! When are you taking your ED?
I'm expecting the car to be in the dealership by next week, with delivery on the 23/24th, or on the 31st (after I get back from a short vacation).

Mine will be SSII, Black leather, M Drive, DCT, EDC, 220Ms, PDC, Adjustable seat width - why not go all out unless you're tracking it.
Nice work on the comp package.... jealous! You're not afraid of bottoming out in Ottawa snow with the 10mm drop? I'll be using gunmetal Alufelgen CS7 19s for my winter setup to attempt a comp style look.

I would still have time to adjust my order to some secret config, but I made a deal based on an advertised specification and this is a major departure.

Keep us posted on what your CA has to say. Perhaps a copy of the build specs once you have a production number assigned would be helpful instead of just going by his word. Then you could correspond directly with BMW Canada as well to ensure a smooth ED.

My ordering info on our online guide still says power seats are standard on an E90 M3.It is updated everyday but that would not be the 1st time that there has been a suprise when the car arrives.It happens with all manufactors as I just had a 2011 F150 arrive for a client and it has different wheels than shown in our order guide.The good thing is that the substituded wheels are much nicer!

"Reference the power seats, they are standard on the Canadian model." Not a lot of detail that comforts me, but an email I'll file away, as I keep an eye on the builds.

iksenna, are you taking action via BMW Canada? Please keep us updated!
Nothing I can do now but wait and see what shows up next week.
