Seats

The front seats are similar in design to the E36 seats with new internal construction to improve their support and comfort. Memory seats are now standard equipment on the 328i and available as an option on the 323i. The seat controls, including memory storage buttons are located on the side of the seat base. An optional lumbar support is also available for the E46.

The rear seating area has been increased in size, 0.9 inches more shoulder room and 0.8 inches more leg room. A split folding (40/60) seat is available as an option on both models.

The release for the folding seat backs is now located in the trunk on the left and right sides near the wheel arches. This increases the security aspect when keeping items locked in the trunk.
