X5m Seat Cushion Bolster Adjustment

Is there a way to adjust the seat cushion bolsters in the X5m/X6m? Can someone please instruct me how to do that?

Thanks!

If your talking about the side bolster "nut busters" they are not adjustable. You'll have to get used to lifting your but and thighs over them.

This was discussed in a previous thread but my genius delivery person recommended that I set seat position 1 as its lowest possible point and position 2 as my driving point. This has worked well for me and has eliminated the issue described. I just enter and exit at 1 and drive at 2.

I pictured you saying this in a high pitched voice, in my head. Those nut buster bolsters can be unforgiving.
