Guys I've just bought a 123 coupe and need a bit of lumbar support, years ago I fitted a recaro inflatable cushion into my 968, which was straight forward because you could slide it behind the seta back.
Has anybody managed something similar on a bmw seat? I assume the seat back would have to come off to get access?

I took the back panel off my 535d and filled between the springs and the foam with tea towels till I had the perfect lumbar for my back. Once you have got it right you don't ever need to adjust it again, so it works well.

Tea towels sound a bit high tech! Do the seat backs just pull off? Or am i likely to snap something?

Having made the mistake of spending 50k on a car without a lumbar I use one of these http://www.poundland.co.uk/product-range/a-z/pro-d... and suprisingly it works well......it should be standard FFS

You need to grab the back at the top on each side and then squeeze them together and pull.
