Bolsters not always moving in sport mode

I’ve noticed a few times that when I switch to sport mode, the seat bolsters don’t always move inwards as they’re supposed to. If I go back to personal mode and got the menu to adjust the bolsters (I will agree, this is the one really stupid part of putting the seat controls on iDrive - I’d like a button for that thank you), then go into sport mode the bolsters remember that they are supposed to move inwards.

Anyone else had this happen on their i5?

Not yet. But other things are a bit wonky.

Had to edit. I was able to reproduce this.

Think I’ve experienced the same, but I feel like my M550 did this from time to time too.

Hi, I'm just bumping this up as I also have this issue. My wife's passenger seats seat bolsters will be engaged when I switch to sport mode, but my bolsters will not. Has anyone noticed anything similar?

I found that I had adjusted my driver’s seat to already have the bolsters engaged, so it did not move them further.

I have noticed this. If they are already adjusted to be fairly tight, changing to sport does not adjust them further.

i7 boost not seezing in the chair

my 2023 i7 xdrive60 with M sport used to tighten up the seatbelt and squeeze in the seatback when the "boost" paddle was engaged, as the car speeds up for 10 seconds. it no longer does that. not sure why. it is updated with idrive 8.5
