Premium package w/o power seats

Kiety · 04-22-2008, 03:11 AM

For those of you who got premium package and no power seats, do your right rear view mirrors tilt down when you shift into reverse? (quite useful for parallel parking). I know our american counterparts get the electric seats as part of their premium package, too bad we don't as well.

If it doesn't I may go change my order to add power seats, because this is a feature I really liked in my current Lexus.

Thanks much

Not sure about the mirror feature but I suspect it's included only with the power seats.
If you have more than one operator then the power seats are a must. Plus I found the manual seats a PITA to adjust.
Just go get them.

It's too bad they don't do a rear-view camera with the nav. system. This is one feature I'll really miss in my CX-7.

Kiety · 04-22-2008, 01:21 PM

yea, no camera, but i'd settle for PDC + tilting side mirror. has anyone had a chance to test this out?

raisemyrent · 04-22-2008, 07:00 PM

can you add just the seats? I don't know how cost effective that would be because of the extra special orders 400 fee... might as well get the comfort package. But it was too pricey for me.
I should've added PDC, but oh well.

Yes you can order the seats alone on the Cabrio and I assume on the Coupe as well.

I've been getting mixed responses from different dealerships, one say the auto tilt in reverse is standard on the 135i cab, one says it's only part of power seats, and another says it's included in the premium. It's too bad they don't have any 135i's in stock to check for me.

raisemyrent · 04-25-2008, 12:25 AM

j8smith, who is around, owns a 128i and said that without power seats, the mirror doesn't tilt. I don't know if it changes with the 135i.
I hope mine tilts.

I phoned in to add power seats to my order, but CA said it's already in production, but he'll try to phone in and get it added. fingers crossed hoping for good news tomorrow.

Well, if yours is in production mine should be in production as well. That's good to hear.

Kiety · 04-25-2008, 02:06 AM

honestly i would rather wait an extra week to get the power seats, but oh well if it's too late I can live with having to manually adjust the right mirror when parallel parking
