I believe the fix is the same for the E39. :thumb:

same as the e34,dont really have to remove the motor or the chair,can actually flip the chair over a bit to cut the plastic sheathing

i dont have torx tools and i dont want to get involved with fixing them myself,
might sound like im not passionate about my car,but after fixing my honda im a lil bit irritated with cars:argh:

p1000- back and forward buttons work on both chairs
the raising and lowering of the base of the chair is where it twists on both of them,

passenger chair back rest works and twists,drivers chair back rest doesn't work anymore,it was twisting and then it just stopped luckily in my driving position
