Seat Memory and keys(no comfort access) oh and sport buton

themush1326 · 03-23-2012, 01:21 PM

When does the seat go back to the memory postion for each key?

Is it when you open the door?
When you press one of the memory buttons or something else?

If it goes back automatically, what postion M1,M2 or last postion?

I have read a few threads on Soprt button but they were for auto trans any different for manual?

It depends on how you have it programmed. You can set it to do either on remote unlock or door open. The rest of your questions were unintelligible.

Each seat/mirror setting is memorized for the key that's in the car at the time. If Key 1 is used to lock the car and then Key 2 is used to open it, the seats and mirrors will move to the Key 2 position as soon as the door is unlocked (not opened, but unlocked). I believe that other things are memorized also, like radio presets.

Sport and Sport + settings adjusts the dampers for a firmer ride. With DCT, you also get faster shift times at higher RPMS. With MT, only the suspension settings change.

If you dont have the adjustable suspension with manual trans then what do the sport+ buttons do?

The trottle does feel different put it could be a placebo affect.

For the key/seat memory

Lets assume I have it set to door unlock, what memory postion will it return to when I unlock the door? memory 1/memory 2?

the throttle may well be different with the MT. it was in my old Z4. sport button also stiffens up the steering.

The seat returns to the last position, not to M1 or M2..

The question is why do you want to know, why not just try it?

Mania, maybe Euro spec cars are different, but that's not how the seat memory works here. The seat position, mirror position and a whole host of other settings are stored in your personal profile which is memorized by the key that was used when this profile was set up. If someone else drives the car and adjusts any of these settings, they will all return to your set up when you unlock the car the next time you drive. Look up "personal profile" in your owner's manual.

The throttle is changed with a MT. It did in the E85's and it does in the E89's. I never drive my car in anything but the sport mode.
