Wow. Nope, I just joined a couple days ago, not long enough to follow anyone/anything other than my own curiosity. I wonder if your dealer is kicking themselves for letting it go for so little. They must really like you!

That extra Cupholder (hanging off the side) is only available for left-hand drive markets. I can 100% guarantee that.

Also, some people like the simplicity. For example, some of the taller folks like to slide their seat back when they get out of the car and don't like having to wait 5 seconds for the electric one. Plus it's one less (actually, 2 less) electronic gizmo for the gremlins to get into. |

Personally I think the only advantage electric seats would have over manual ones is the memory function if you have two or more people of different height using the car regularly. Fortunately not a problem for me as my wife is roughly the same height as me I set the seats up and she's happy using them as they are (funny how many people have no idea how to properly set a seat up). I will actually sometimes even adjust the seat a tiny bit according to the thickness of the shoes I am wearing.
Otherwise it's just a lot of weight for not much... I mean how hard is it to just pull a level or turn some small wheel to adjust your seat??? |

Cant be sure since I havent had power seats, but my seats move forward/back, recline, move up/down, plus the front lifts up/down (seat tilts back), the front portion behind the knees extends out, and as I mentioned the button inflates/deflates the sides. Thats 6 way adjustable to me.
Pop into your dealer and see a 1 series with the sport seats in manual. add in the head rest up/down in case the power seats count that as an adjustment |

I just got a loaner 328 with manual seats... these have less adjustment than the seats in my 135 (3 way vs 6 way per my earlier post). I would guess the difference is that I have sports seats in the 1.
The 328 (non sport) seats are awful. Not just for adjustment, but just awful in general. NO support at all!!!! If this was my only exposure to a BMW I would never buy one. If you go into a dealership to check something out make sure you check it out apples to apples. |
