Original BMW Front Seat Memory Adjustment Button 5 Series, 7 Series, M5 (1995–2003)

This Original BMW front seat adjustment button fits the power front seats with memory on E39 5 Series and E38 7 Series cars, including the 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, M5, 740i, 740iL, and 750iL. It is the button on the seat adjustment switch, the part you press to move the seat. BMW calls it the button for front seat adjustment with memory. It weighs 11 grams, and BMW has supplied this number since April 1994. The button is made in Germany.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

On a power seat, the switch assembly underneath does the electrical work, and the button sits on top of it as the piece your hand touches. Because BMW ties this number to seats with memory, check that your seat has the memory function before ordering. BMW's parts data shows the same button across a wide spread of E39 and E38 engines, from the M52 and M54 six-cylinders through the M62 V8, the M73 V12, and the S62 in the M5. That shared application means one part number covers both the mid-size and full-size BMW sedans of this era.
