side bolsters on seats

hey guys I recently bought a g30 and it has the messaging 18 way power seats.. one question... I notice that when I inflate the side bolsters they start to loose air very quickly after I let go of the button and within about 10min I have to re inflate.. .. If I shut the car off at night and come back in the morning the seat is completely deflated and I have to re inflate to where I want them.. not sure if this is normal or is there a problem with a proportioning valve in the air bladder??

Sounds like a problem.

For me, as soon as I click in my seat belt the bolsters go back to their set position. They maintain that position the entire time I am in the car. I just got back last night from a 5 hour drive from VA and the bolster didn't deflate.

Could be the preset to your profile. When you adjust them does the iDrive ask if you want that seat setting to be set to your profile ? If not, check that option in the iDrive and see what happens.

Mine also inflate to the preset when the seat belt is fastened. The only time they change is when Sport is selected when they automatically ‘tighten’. They should ‘reinflate’ to the preset when you get in. I would set them in 3 entirely different positions and save each one as a preset and see what happens when you get in and select each different preset.
