Power Folding Front Seat

Does the Power folding front seat for access to the rear seat come standard, or is that only with power seat option?

The thing on the top right of seat just under head-rest

I'm going without the power seats. My M3 didn't have them, and I didn't mind. Besides, the lever to move the seat up to gain access to the rear works faster than the power buttons.

I've gone for power seats cos I am a fussy git. I want the seat distance to the steering wheel to be just right. With manual, I find I am either 1 notch too close or 1 notch too far. The power seats allow me to set the seat in between those 2 notches......cue the fanfare music showing my happiness at ultimate driving position!!!

What color leather is that in the first post.

I skipped power because I don't really need it, and if I did added it I would have gone on a very slippery slope straight to premium package

It uses the power seat motors to power the seat forward... No power seats, no power rear seat access...

Yeah it is faster without. I like having the memory buttons so if someone else drives my car I can click a button and be back to normal without having to screw with the seat to get it right again.

Anyway - how long does it take to move the seat up to get in the back with the buttons? sounds like a pain in the ass sitting there waiting for it to move while you tell your 3rd (short) passenger all about the puddle lights they get in europe.

A friend recently told me his favorite BMW interior color is the lemon. Seems it has another fan.

With the power seats, a few people have complained to me how slow a similar feature is with the G35 coupe. If it's the same here, many people will prefer the manual release.
