Seats
General
The seat setting for the driver's seat is stored in
the active BMW ID or in the active driver profile. If
the BMW ID or the driver profile is reactivated at
a later time, the stored position is called up auto‐
matically.
The current seat position can be saved using the
memory function.
Safety notes

the seat to move unexpectedly. You could lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Only adjust the seat on the driver's side
