BMW Serie 7 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 7 E38, MK 3 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Seat
Operation: Seat electric adjustment information

The video shows the complex electrical adjustment mechanism that hides under the driver's seat upholstery; In fact, both the upholstery and the padding have been completely removed to highlight the frame and the system that allows it to be adjusted through a series of electric motors which in turn operate worm screws that allow you to adjust the height and the inclination of the seat, the position forwards and backwards and that of the backrest; for each of these movement axes there is a motor which independently activates the command; the frame itself is a brilliant example of engineering as it was designed to allow for all these adjustments.

How do I unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series, the Start / Stop button and the lever release button must be pressed at the same time. This procedure will allow the car gearbox to be unlocked for about 15 minutes, so that in the event of an engine failure, the car can still be moved. It may be necessary to repeat the operation more than once for its success. After unlocking the gearbox, it can return to its original state by simply waiting for the aforementioned 15 minutes, or by pushing the release lever forward for a few seconds.
