When you guys are saying "sport" seats, is that the same as the 20-way adjustable comfort seats that are included in the sport package?

no the comfort seats are not standard on the sport package.

Nothing beats a W221 active seat in my opinion.

BMW's have always felt blocky and uncomfortable to me.

For which model year?

08 option sheet: https://5series.net/information/2008...ion_Sheets.pdf
This shows the optional "Multi-Contour" seats as part of the ZSP Sport package or as a stand-alone option for all E60 models sans the M5. I'm not seeing any other seat options other than heat/vent.

Yes, they became standard on sport package equipped models - not sure what year they started that though.

Def not in 2004!

I have tried many adjustment for 4 months and yet to find a drivable position. My back and right leg start to feel uncomfortable after 20 minute. I only test drive the comfort seat and I don't recall how comfortable it is. I'm looking to see if anyone in the Atlanta/Georgia area that might be interested in meeting up and compare seat and possibly trade?

Mine is 08 550i sport seat dakota black leather with 35,000.

Looking for BLACK comfort seats and in same condition as mine.

If interested you can give me a call 770-468-0796
I have to make a suggestion - have you tried removing your wallet (assuming you have it on the right back pocket)? That helped me tremendously...

I agree as well. One of my best friends has a 2010 E550 coupe and every time he gets in my car he says "I cant believe how amazing these seats are" I think they're the best seats I've ever sat in and I've sat in a ton of cars. What exactly doesnt fit you right?

I too have an 08 Mtech and if these 20 way comfort seats aren't good enough, nothing will be. At least nothing that BMW has to offer in a e60. If I had standard seats I'd drive across country to trade with you and then speed outta there before you have time to change your mind!
