I have a 2 year lease on my 545i and I'm considering a 6 series for when it is up.

Does anyone know if the Comfort Seats are an option on the 6 series outside of the USA?

Thought maybe if they were, eventually they would be available in the USA.

I want to get a 6 next time but if comfort seats aren't an option I won't get it. I am too use to them and I don't like the sport seats.

Thanks

Not as far as I can tell on both the UK and German sites. The UK site is even showing the 650 now with its options and new colors, etc. Most would tell u it is not in keeping with the image of the 6er. I guess u could go to the M6 with the seat option of dynamic adjustable bolsters depending on G-force

WHY DO YOU NOT FAVOR THE SPORTS SEATS?? I RECENTLY ORDERED THE SPORTS PACKAGE WITH MY 550, BUT SHOULD I PAY THE ADDITIONAL $ FOR THE UPGRADED COMFORT SEATS???

I have a friend with a 530i with Sport Seats. I just find them a little hard. For the amount of driving I do I prefer the comfort seats. Softer, more adjustable. I don't think I could get a BMW without them. I would not get a 645Ci if they aren't offered.

I whole heartly agree. First time comfort seat owner, and after a month, I cannot imagine not having them. So adjustable and comfortable. I already have programmed memory postion 1 for city driving and memory postion 2 for highway driving. I'm glad I spent the $$ for them without question!

Comfort seats are not available on the 6 series, because of their weight.

Iceman, are the Comfort Seats that much heavier than the Sport Seats? Do you know the weight of each?

I guess I'll never be buying a 6 series.

That's basically why I bought a 5series. My wife test drove the 6er too, and we both loved it. But comfort seats were no option, so we took the E60 instead.

Comfort seats are about 40 Kg each, I was told...
Then think about the electrical motors in mine... Electric seats with memory, heated, ventilated and massage function...
