Electric seat position 1 series?

[geeeman]

Can anyone confirm if the seating positions in a 1 series (2014) would be the same acheivable with manual or electric seating?

Judging by my experience in 1, 2, 3, Z4, 4 and 5 series with a mix of manual and electric seats, I think the electric option is far more adjustable than manual set up as it can move in far smaller increments than the manual, which locks into place in bigger steps.

I really wish I had electric seats in my 3 for that reason.

On the manual seat there is a lever on front right corner that allows you to tilt the whole seat
Not sure if the electric seat can do that too?

I had a 2018 118i loaner on Monday, I looked in the owner's manual and the operation for seat manual or electric is designed to achieve the same positions.

I would say that manual is b***dy awkward, so I'm glad I have electric on my old M3.

Take a look at the owner's manual , you can download from this site (then p 42-43) if you want to see what I saw.
