That is because some of us can never find the perfect seating position.....................
I admit I'm one of those people. I have my seat position set in memory but sometimes I have to do little adjustments after being in the car for 10-20 minutes or so. I somtimes feel the temperature might have something to do with it as the leather become more slippery after being under the sun for a while. But maybe it's just me....................

I adjust the seats every time I get it back from servicing and it takes about 2 mins and that is bout it till next service.
Oh and did I mention, I also don't like leather seats.
. Yea, it looks good when new, other wise, worst possible material for seats.Wunderkind

Yes leather is not the best material for car seats from a functional standpoint. It does not grip and hug you like suede or alcantara. But it does not absorb odour, grease, or any liquid spillage.
If I was the sole person driving the car then given the choice I would chose non-electric seats every time, but as the wife drives all of my cars on a regular basis and is quite a bit shorter it does save the hassle of all that readjusting every time. Simple press of a button or better still programmable keys and away you go.
Plus, with resale I know which option will help sell the car.

Problems with BMW paint!
I never heard this before but Autoexpress highlighted that many customers are complaining bitterly about the finish on their BMW cars. I did know as do many BMW owners that BMW use a different process than most others which causes the more noticeable 'orange peel' effect but didn't know it was more inclined to cause pitting.
Also, the Matt finish, customers in the US with this finish have to sign a wavier stating their paint warranty will be void if they wax it, though no such requirement is placed on UK customers.
Has anyone else heard of these issues?

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of
BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport")
was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful
in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle
portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most
known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines,
transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications
to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's
private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany. Official website:
