warping passenger seat.
two attempts to fix have failed. one dealer, one indie
does anyone recommend a car seat expert in LA area, specifically in the San Fernando Valley to Thousand Oaks areas, whom has a near 100% chance of being able to fix this.
Thanx

You mean the seat twist issue?

I have owned this car since Feb 2017. The issue is not with the motor or the cables to the motor etc. It is supposedly with the cables and cords inside the seat. It really needs a shop that has done this before on these M5 seats. Not even a standard E39 seat.

It’s an easy fix as a diy. Search “twisted seat”.

Assuming you don’t want to go that route, hence the post. I can’t help as nowhere near you. But would imagine plenty of folks out that way that can help. Best of luck.
@Dking078 can probably fix it. I’ve used him for several things re: parts and he’s great.
