So he's had it for 600 miles and hasn't found out where the Coupes, slooooooooooooooooooooooow seat base motor is operated from. He must have been wondering what that black plastic switch on the inner side of the seat back was for surely?

There is rumoured to be an upgrade to speed the motors up, so hopefully at the 1st service that should be cured.

I watched that vid to, it was pretty good and I to was wandering about the seat movement. What a daft place to put it on the inside of the seat! Is that just on the Plus seats? I thought I had seen them on the outer seat on the normal seats, that's where they are on my 3 Series Coupe, they work just fine an are quick enough.

The idea of putting the switch there is so it is easy for the rear seat passengers to operate them rather than having to reach between the seat back and the B pillar, it isn't easier for the driver to operate them to let people out though.

Carbon copy of my own car, except I do not have the boy racer seats. Enjoyed the review.
I tend to disagree about the comments on pricing. The huge order backlog suggests that the punters do not agree. A premium product commands a premium price and you price it for what you can get. In a few years, we'll see value editions of the car but for now, with demand as it is, they'd be mad to sell it for less.
