hi all,

i have a mini one with the sports seats but no lumber support adjustment. is this a option only on the coopers?
i didnt notice it on the option list. and i assumed it is a standard feature on sports seats.

I have Lumbar Support on my sport seats but I have an MCS... I guess they are different.

Incidentally, "Lumber" support would be a roof rack, I guess...

I was going to say- I kept my truck so I wouldn't have to haul lumber in my MINI.

On a more serious note, the leather seats have lumbar support adjustment, no other seat type does.

I believe lumbar support is available on cloth/leather or leather, on normal or sport seats.

It fooled me as well, as the only sport seats you see are cloth/leather or leather, and you don't see any normal cloth/leather or leather seats. Therefore I had also assumed that they came with the cloth sport seats.

I found out before I placed my order, but I still went for the cloth sport seats, even though I quite fancied the lumbar adjustment. I did wonder if it could be retro-fitted as I can't imagine that they make two different seat frames.

Only in the US (and Canada?). I think this is a simplification technique, that as well allows them to further justify the rather large price of the leather seats. Probably similar reason to why we can't get half leather seats.

On US spec cars definetly don't have it, (lumbar support means adjustable, its not like the normal seats have flat backs) Canadian I would expect not to as well, but you should check on that with your dealer (or wait and see if someone knows)

oh I know it won't be flat, I just have a mucked up back so Ilike to have my lumbar support quite far out. Anyone know the answer?
