Hi, I understand your problem. A similar thing happened to me, only with my 2015 BMW X1. The electric seat adjustment strangely gave up the ghost. Imagine it was nothing serious. A simple fault in the control system. Don't worry, it's nothing serious and should be fairly easy to fix. On my next visit to the workshop, they easily rectified the fault and everything is running smoothly again.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement, that reassures me a little. Do you happen to remember roughly how much you put down for that repair? And has there been any other issue that has come up with the seat since then?

Hey, I'm glad I could help you a bit. Well, I had to pay about 225 euros for the repair of the defective seat module. But I have to say that since the repair was carried out, there have been no further problems. The electric seat adjustment works perfectly again and the problem has not recurred. So, cheer up, you'll be fine!

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in. So, power seat adjustment is really important for driver comfort and for an optimal seating position, especially with higher mileage like your BMW. The seat adjustment as a whole can help you feel comfortable even on longer journeys, which is certainly relevant in a car with over 150,000 km on the odometer. Incidentally, repair costs can sometimes vary depending on the workshop and the exact problem. So maybe it's worth getting a few quotes. All the best for the repair!

Exactly, comfort is super important, I've got another long journey coming up soon, so I'd like to have that fixed again. I'll have a look around at various garages and compare prices. Hopefully everything will go as smoothly as it did for you and then I can relax in my driver's seat and get on with the miles. Thanks again for all the help & advice!
