Are you sure? I have a 05 545i with sport seats. It has good lumbar support. You adjust it with the round (4 arrows button) on the side of the seat. It also has the leg support.

I purchased a 04' 545/Sport earlier this year. The seats are still killing my back!!! Several people said that I would get use to it or the seat would break in more. Has anyone else on this forum experienced the same pain and come up with a creative way to solve it?

I feel for you, the 04 sport seats along with the tire issue was why I got out of my lease 18 months early. My 04 didn't have lumbar suppot either ans no matter what, I was never able to find the right seat adjustment. I'm sorry for you, but BMW really screwed up on this model and resovled modt issues with the 550. Good Luck.
I really appreciate everyones posts, they have been a tremendous help to me. I will give it a couple of more months and if nothing gets better; I'll start looking for another 545 or 550. Hurting back and all, I'm sold on BMW and couldn't imagine driving anything else.

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
I found the sport seats in my 05 545i to be very uncomfortable at first but got used to it and now I find them good. Not as good as comfort seats mind you.
