Recently solved a similar problem in my friends car, the inner part of the bowden cable was completely twisted and broken.
Bowden cables can be bought from the dealer, but better check beforehand what is written on it for the length of the cable. On E32 for example there were 2 makers of seats for BMW and the lenghth of the bowden cables it slightly different.
So this could also be the reason for my Sport Seat base elevation failure i assume. I already took the switch apart and cleaned everything. It tilts the base OK but will not raise or lower it. I hear the module clicking under the seat when i operate the swicth so I was stumped till you mention the cable.
