How to Set the Seat Memory in BMW?
2 Answers
BMW seat memory setting method: There is a red set button on the power-adjustable seat, along with buttons 1 and 2, representing two memory positions. After adjusting the seat to the desired position, press the set button, then press 1 or 2 to save the setting. Seat memory refers to the automatic adjustment of memory seats, which can memorize and automatically adjust the front seat positions via control buttons. BMW is a German luxury car brand, with its vehicle lineup including the i, X, Z, and pure numeric 4 series, as well as the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series, along with the M series, which is based on improvements to these models.
When I first bought my BMW, I spent some time figuring out the seat memory function and found it very practical. The operation is simple: first, sit in the driver's seat, start the vehicle, and park it safely in P mode. Then adjust the seat to the most comfortable position, including the front and rear position, backrest angle, seat height, and even the angle of the exterior rearview mirrors. Once the position is set, find the button marked with an M on the inner door panel and press it. Wait for it to light up, then quickly press a numbered key to save the position, such as key 1. I set two positions: 1 is my daily driving posture, and 2 is a more relaxed position for long-distance driving. For family members, different keys can be set, allowing them to restore their preferred position with just one press without readjusting. This function can also be linked to the key, so when I unlock the car with my key, the seat automatically returns to position 1, which is super convenient. It's important to regularly check the settings to avoid accidental overwrites. Although the steps are simple, they significantly enhance the overall driving experience, especially for families or couples sharing a vehicle.
