RichSperry Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Posted June 4, 2010 THe R56 sport seats don't have the adjustable lumbar support. You can install it. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/how-to/172353-how-to-retrofit-adjustable-lumbar-support-to-a-sports-seat.html Just want to see if anyone has done it, and possibly sitting in them, before I do it.. No matter where you go, there you are!
RichSperry Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Posted June 5, 2010 Anyone? Anyone? Bueller??? Oh well, looks like I'm the guinea pig. No matter where you go, there you are!
ZugZugMcD Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 This is the first I've heard of it... I'd imagine that since the parts are oem that you could go to the dealership and find a car on the lot with the lumbar support. A test drive of the seat 2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman
Edge Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 It's the #1 reason I opted for the leather seats. (Another reason being that I hate the vinyl... oops, sorry, "leatherette" :stupid: seats, because they make my back sweat like crazy in warm weather. The leather doesn't.)

Edge Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 And cloth is even better...lolIn some ways, yes... but harder to keep clean, especially against spills.
