F20 Urban half leather trim problem
I am finding the drivers seat extremely uncomfortable.
My journey is 80 mins each way to and from work and after about 15 mins I start to have a very uncomfortable numbing feeling to the side of my thigh / back side. The problem is there is a join of leather double stitched on the side walls of the lower seat and it is like each thigh sitting on a biro pen! I wondered if anyone else was experiencing similar issues with this design seat? Posture is fine, a really comfortable seat apart from the experience described. |

Hmmm, can't say I've experienced the same. I think the fact that I'm a skinny 69kg guy prevents me from sitting on the portion you describe...
BTW, I was quite surprised to find that the Metro "leather" is in fact Sensatec and not the real cow stuff. After a bit of research though, I'm fine with this, as it seems the synthetic stuff lasts longer, wears better (important when it's white) and wicks moisture better. |

Take the car back and say you are having problems with the seats. BMW will do modifications to make you happy even arrange for the seats to be adjusted.
I once had a problem with a new 116ti Compact with a noisy rear diff at 60mph. BMW tried a few replacement diffs but in the end BMW stripped all the interior out and added sound proofing. I had the most quite car in town.

Interesting that it's Dakota leather... Did you have to spec it like that specifically or do the sports seats come with real leather as standard? I thought mine was real (a salesman told me it was ), but if I reach underneath the seat from behind it, there is a little bit of loose flap which you can feel the synthetic fabric lining on the backside of.
