Personally, I love it and miss it on the F15. The bolsters just lock you in place and while it's probably more appropriate on my F30 than the F15, I do wish I had realized the sport seats don't have this function. I also wonder why the BMW marketers or whomever puts together the manuals chose to call it "backrest width" instead of bolsters lol.

One thing different on my F30 than on the MC seats I had on my E70, on the E70 they deflated when you shut off the car and inflated when you got in, making it easier to get in and out. Was also a cool (albeit silly) 'cockpit' feeling like 'now you're ready to go!' lol Kind of like an Audi S5 I had, when you started the ignition, in addition to the beautiful engine/exhaust note on start up, the steering wheel unlocked and the headlights leveled (down when parked, came up when you started the car). Just a quick little sequence but I loved starting that thing.
