Ever since I bought this 98 750iL the driver's seat has been making popping noise when I move in the seat, accelerate, break or take turns. I'm at the point where I can't stand it anymore.[pray] I feel like there is a small play in one of the joints.

Anyone experienced similiar problem?

I had this same similar problem in a 1997 MBZ E420 and a 1998 E320. For the Benz, it was a broken/cracked seat frame inside the seat (under the leather, padding, etc..) The dealership said this is somewhat common in some German cars, as some German car makers use the same or similar seat frames.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the post. This sounds like some metal part though, because it creates resonation after the pop.

I always give myself a question... why BMW has to always have this kind of issues. I don't think they test the cars well enough.
