Normal seat movement?

All, just collected my new to me X5. Absolutely loving it after the rubbish I had last (Audi Q8). One thing I’ve noticed is the seat has a large amount of, “play” in the backrest. What do you guys think? Is this normal or worth having a dealership look at it?

Thanks in advance.

Doesn’t look normal to me. Seat back shouldn’t move.

I thought as much, although didn’t think it too serious and was going to leave it but now someone else has said it doesn’t look right; I’ll have them sort it out at the dealership. Thanks for the heads up.

Had an old 550i that had similar issue. If I braked hard or accelerated too quick, would have a subtle click. It was replaced eventually since car was under warranty.
