I recently purchased an '07 328xi. I love the car but I am experiencing pain and numbness in my right leg after driving for about 20 minutes. This has not occured with other cars I've had (Acura and Honda sedans). I've tried a lot of different seat settings and a seat cushion from a "back store" but nothing has helped. Has anyone experienced this and been able to resolve it? Thanks!

Unfortunately, that just happens with some cars. My 2000 SL500 caused horrible leg pain, if driving more than 20-30 mins.

Try putting more weight on one side of your butt when driving, to see if that helps.

Sorry!

That's a tough one. I had similar experiences (knee stiffness from a skiing) with GM and Caravans and decided to switch to my current Bimmer, but I test drove several cars and makes (Rental cars) before making my final choice.

You may want to consult a physician first, to rule out any medical conditions or a chiropractor, massage therapist, etc.

Good Luck

So bad to hear that...

I used to get a sharp tingling feeling in my lower back when i first bought my e30
After a couple of months i just got used to it and the pain went away... Im not saying get used to it but im sure it may be the way your sitting..
Good idea what "deutsch100" said, "Try putting more weight on one side of your butt"
