Never owned an E34. Did BMW correct the issue and absorb costs?

Jeep constantly tried to charge me for replacement seat assemblies (frame, mounting tracks, cushions, leather covers, electric motors, the WHOLE ASS'Y), over $1000!

Came to find out the Jeep techs were getting in the back seat, putting their feet on the sagging side and bending them each time until the metal frame finally SNAPPED from repeated bending!

Had to get in the Service/General managers faces each time to get Jeep/Chrysler Corp to absorb the cost!

Pointed out the Viper had dozens of 11.3 second runs with me in it and ZERO seat issues.

Googled E34 bent seat frame. Seems the issue is a snapped cable that needs replacing allows one side of the seat to sag. NOTHING like the Jeep twisted seat issue caused by cheap/thin seatframe materal.
