Seat side bolsters - auto tightening?

Anyone know how to make the side bolsters tighten up based on the M1 / M2 buttons? I’ve tried sport, as well as setting M1 / M2 to aggressive settings, but seat bolsters don’t budge from where I set up the seat positioning in the car.

Thanks!

Only option would be to have the second seat position which you program to be tighter. M1/M2 has no control over seating position

Do you mean like on some cars where you take a hard left turn and the right bolster inflates to “push” you back to the center of the seat? I have had one car that did this, it might have been my X5M?

Yes, I tried sport mode.

Actually heard back from the dealer today - side bolsters do not adjust automatically based on driving mode / settings.

But of a bummer.

I don’t remember auto side bolstering in any of my M’s before. It’s a very AMG thing i think. I honestly don’t prefer it. I’d rather set it once to my comfort level and keep it. Or set it in my memory for purpose… not to mention it’s another thing that would add weight..
