2017 540i Sport Mode Seat Issue

Hi guys,
My car is having this odd issue after I sent to the shop for the rear bumper fix (I think). I switched to the sport mode and the driver seat usually tighten up a bit, but I did it countless times after the repair, the seat hasn't changed at all.
I tried to turn it off and turn it back on, nothing changed. Do you guys have any solutions on that? Thank you!

I have a 2017 540i and I don't have the interior settings. I asked the dealer about it and no one seems to know what I'm talking about. Is your car a US model?

Works without issue on my car. Make sure you leave some air out of the side bolsters before trying it though because it can't pump them up any more if you're already on max. When you hit the Sport+ mode the bolsters definitely tighten up if you have them deflated under the other modes. I had the impression it even firms up against the outside when cornering to support you more, but that could just be G force against the air cushion.

I would say, try deflating them totally, then enabled Sport+ mode and if there's no change, tighten them up using the seat controls, then try and set Comfort mode to see if they relax back to normal and vice versa. If that doesn't work, seek advice from your dealer and get it checked out.

I should have said I have the settings, but they are not configurable , Sport can be customized as can ECO-PRO but not Sport+.
PS) My seats tighten up in Sport.

Don't you have to 'teach' the bolsters how much to tighten up whilst the car is set in sports mode and then save to seat memory?
