Front seats... lateral tilt?
My cousin just purchased a 2013 35i and realized that the front seats are tilted towards the center console. I sat on both driver and passenger seats and felt uncomfortable (the latter being more tilted). It's tilted to the point that I need to recline my elbow against the center console to balance myself. Also, the car flashes "Restraint system malfunction" .
Do the tilted seats have anything to do with the warning? I never had this issue with my 35i. Is this something worth taking it to the service center? Thanks.

If its a 2013, it would be under warranty. I'd take it to the dealer and let them deal with it. I've had a 2012 35i and have 2013 X5M now; I've never seen or heard of any way of tilting seats like that.

Your Cousin thought that this was normal? I hope it is a CPO for his sake, they won't CPO one that's been hit hard enough to move the seats.

Or perhaps...
a previous owner had scoliosis and had spacers installed under the seats to straighten out his sitting position?

Thanks for the responses. I've talked with him and he'll find out what's going on.
