I took the M3 out for a spin for the first time since October.  When I
adjusted the seat I found that one thing had a problem.  This is a
fully electronic adjustable seat; the seatback kept tilting backward.
I tried to get it to tilt back up but had no luck.  I tried to run it
all the way back and then tilt it up.  That was a mistake - now I look
like a kid with the seat reclined all the way.  It seems to be stuck
or something.  I hear the motor run but nothing happens.  I took the
seat out of the car and took a look at the motors underneath.  What a
mess.  I can take it apart but it will be a long task - everything is
so tightly grouped together under there that I can barely get a tool
inserted into the hex-head slots.

Anyone out there have any tips, suggestions, or directions?  I would
even consider buying a salvage seat if I could find one that matched.

HELP!!!! Thanks, JM

There's a guy on the 'net that sells the gear and has directions posted on
how to get to it.

Follow this link, then poke around the site for a while, you'll find the
Seat Gears on the main page ...
