Broken Seat Runner
 

I was out in the garage tonight and the drivers seat was a little lose
after some digging found this :mad:

Look shimmy i dont have FAT hands :whistle:

Get the soldering iron out:finga:

Warranty?

Let me see yip warranty :whistle:

Do remember a couple of people getting this on ol' bm3w forum, Angus?

Did someone else hold the seat while you took the picture :thumbs:

No

I was under the seat it is still in the car

:hahaha::hahaha: I say ban him Mark. He's nothing but trouble.;)

I had the same on mine when I bought the car. Done on warranty I seem to remember.

Hi mark, are you sure thats covered under warranty, as I think I may have the same problem. The seat on mine just moves backwards and forwards very slightly occasionally while driving.

Update
Called BMW Warranty and they sent a man to have a look
it will be fine to drive :bigcry:
He was going to drive it to the garage but i did not want any one driving my CSL so took it myself.

They have to get the part from germany could take 7 days
They have only one left so that was lucky.

They have put me in a brand new 520D M Sport DSG 8 Speed box
Its cool as fook happy days and i have a job in aberdeen tomorrow :thumbs:

8 speed is normal auto :blalalala:

I thought it was DSG you cant feel it change gear

Sounds like the seat runners are worn not sure about that ask your dealer

Is a good box, driven a 330d, 550i and 535i with it, but if you drive an m3 with the 7 speed dct you'll be blown away.

Dont tell him that, we've only just got him back in a CSL.:banghead::hahaha:

:-D its ok i could not stand the amount of money they drop each week :whistle:

Worth every penny if you ask me, if I could afford a DCT e90 I'd be in there, miles better as a road car than the CSL. Much though I love the old girls things have moved on so much :smt055

Are you sure you can remember :)

Good point.

New ECU will be along in next 4 or 5 weeks (new MoTeC M1 series), wiring looms being made, pop a gearbox in and I might even drive it, who knows. :whistle:

Fookety fook fook fook......

This just happened to me today :bigcry:

Side of the seat just lost support during some spirited driving...

Less than 3 weeks before trip........Help me G man Kenobi....you're my only hope......

Well, There is a plan B courtesy of the CSL Fairy Godmother, but ain't it typical !!!

tbh mate im surprised its lasted this long, its been working under some pretty extreme conditions :-D

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha: you have just said what most of us were thinking :-D

Big bones fookers :hahaha:
