2017 M2 Seat is Loose and Wobbles Moves Too Much

WillieM2 · 08-14-2017, 11:11 AM

Has anybody else noticed a problem with excessive play with the seats? The base and the seat back both move and you can shake them and create lottsa motion. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I don't have my M2 yet so not sure if you can get to the bolts and tighten them. Otherwise take it to the dealer as it's most likely still under warranty???

Straighten out the seat before you tighten it up!

P.S. Also recommend using Loctite.

No problem here.

All is fine in our 2017. With Brit cars, we called those "tea break tight." Just have your dealer tighten things up a bit.

Back on topic, can't say I've noticed a lot of play no really? I like the manual seats a lot too, much faster for rear seat access for my kids and the clever mechanism slips back to its prior point every time. Only thing that's not ideal is adjusting seat height while on the move. Needs a bit of practice and flexibility.

I noticed a little shifting of the seat with hard braking when I first got the car. It seemed to improve with time, but I still asked my dealer to check it at my break-in maintenance appointment. They said everything was fine. I haven't really noticed it since then, so I wonder if they tightened something down or if it has resolved on its own. I'm only 170 pounds so don't think it's because I'm a huge guy. It was definitely noticeable at first, but it's all good now.

No such issues here - nice and taught and no wobbling of the empty passenger seat.
