Leaning passenger seat
I could not find any info on this and wondered if anyone knew about this.
My passenger seat on my '93 525i the back is leaning to the left so when someone sits in it they lean back twards the driver and is uncomfortable.
I have tried all the adjustments on the lower right side of the seat and nothing works.
I called the dealer and they told me something about some cableing that simply needs adjusting and no parts needed. But it was like a 4hr job and 475.00$ bill. I could not find much info in my Bentley Manual either.
Thanks for any info.

It's not that hard to fix yourself - try Shogun's method, which I think used to also be on bmwe34.net.

I'll 2d or 3d that.... YOU CAN DO IT...
.... maybe the first time is hardest, cause you don't know what's going on...
but the second cable (like for the other side, or whatever ) is CAKE.
Check shogun's page like mentioned earlier... and maybe search for Gale's BMW page too... and maybe it's also on bmwe34.net as well....
