BMW E34 & E32 Seat Twist Fix

[@rhedrick]

Great Vid E34 NLA! Here's a tip for other people with the same problem: You don't need to shorten the motor end of the cable-the other end is much easier to access and will have the same result.

[@bimmer-addiction]

Nice work! Every E34 owner will need this video at some point.

[@e34nla30]

Pretty much. I'm just trying to make it easier for the next group!

[@olifs8083]

💀please no...

[@misophone]

I have now reached that point 😂

[@illwafer]

this is great for us e39 owners too. no one explained the cable inside the housing like you did. now it makes a lot more sense.

[@АлександрСкляров-з2ъ]

Thank you for this fantastic guide!

[@johannbrocks]

Amazing Video, good explanation, and great editing - straight to the point. Looking forward for more. My e32 is starting to show some weaknesses

[@jaredpa29]

Thank you! Thank you! This tutorial was exactly what I needed to fix my seat.

[@NairaGuimaraes-f9l]

Excellent explanation. Thank you!!

[@MichaelTroyMooney]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Bout to undertake this fix and with this it's super straightforward!

[@viperocco]

best details regarding this fix on the youtubes. nice work yo

[@trackerrrr]

Used this video today to fix both my front seats, worked great!

[@tikkabrno]

Great video 👍 Just bought a 1990 750iL with the back rest twist. Got it straight enough to drive by assisting the seat through a full back and forward motion. Definitely doing both seats when I get home in a day's time 👌

[@MichaelTroyMooney]

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm following along and fixing all my twists! One thing though is that I've got the front part of the seat, up and down adjustment, that is twisting. It doesn't look like a cable drive exists for that motor ( on the side of the seat) Is there a fix for that or I need to just get a new motor? Thanks!

[@mazila1108]

awesome tutorial...thank you very much for uploading this!!!

[@kylepilot747]

Can you make a video on replacing the heating elements for the seat as well? my bottom element went out and not too sure how to go about it yet. would like to take apart least as possible with it now becoming winter over here in Washington state.

[@oLDwASHEDuPsKATERS]

This is the proper way. Thanks!

[@Thejorakardan]

You’re a genius! Tons of thanks!!!!!!!

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

Fantastic video, your presentation style is very good. I will use your video to fix the seat twist on my E32. Thanks!

[@nuudelz3711]

This video would have helped me 20 years ago when my driver seat went on me 😂 Damn I miss that car, still haven’t seen a 93 e34 m5 worth picking up again..

[@francispowell1811]

no one has done a video on replacing the cables. There are 10s of examples of cutting the cable housing. I can't figure out how to change the entire cable.

[@tikkabrno]

Did you not watch this video?

[@francispowell1811]

@@tikkabrno, this does not cover removing the entire cable (including the housing) and installing fresh cables.

[@tikkabrno]

@@francispowell1811 *Can* you download a BMW workshop manual on it? Or, look at the cable and housing assembly and work out how to remove it?

[@tikkabrno]

@@francispowell1811 if you bought new assemblies from BMW, ask them for a copy of the pages from their workshop manual to do it.

[@yoitsmearwyn2519]

did you ever figure out how to remove the cables?

[@brianbrian416]
