Re: [bmw] All points bulletin for 1988 528 driver's seat

When you say buckeled, do you mean the seat back just fell back ?

I had that happen on mine - I took the seat out and turnes out the gears
used in the power adjustment setup had come loose and fallen apart.

I put it all back together, and it works fine.
