It's a very serious issue here in hong kong and china. Most of the 2012 production cars have this problem. Rust will weaken the seat frame structure prematurely, essentially becomes hazardous when stress is applied to it. ( for example in an accident). Hopefully BMW will have a recall bulletin on this for a replacement soon.
Hi.... Here in the Uk i have just checked mine, a 2012 F20 SE with Sports seats... Rust is there alright... Not as bad as the example shown here but on the way... Strangely though, the passenger seat is fine...

I have already approached my dealer and the car is booked in later this Month so as they can take a better look...
