I just bought an 08 550i sport and drove from the Chicago area all the way back to Atlanta and the seats are the most comfy seats I've ever had. Made the long drive back so much better and I'm 6'5.

Recently upgraded from a 525 with standard seat to 550 sport with comfort seats also and they are a big improvement. They are the most comfortable and adjustable seats I've seen in a car barring the 7 series. I'm 6'6" and there are not many seats I fit in comfortable, especially in the Japanese brands which are pitiful in comparison.

I am also confused by this post... these are no doubt the most comfortable seat I have ever experienced... I love my 04 545i seats!

I love my comfort seat. Unfortunately my wife doesn't. She can't seem to find a good seat position.

I removed my wallet and outerwear every time I get in the car, otherwise it be so uncomfortable to drive. I guess it's my problem then. I'm so use to smaller seat on the e46 m3 that fit me just perfect. The e60 seat are a little bigger and harder for me to get use to.

I think there are a number of seats and comparing diferent year models is difficult. I just switched my std semi-electrics for a set of 2008 multi-contour seats and I have never had a car with better seats. Just perfect!
I think the multi-contours replaced sport and comfort seats on later models? I can tighten the side supports and it feels almost like Sparcos or so, and readjust to make them feel like good comfort seats.

sport seats are kinda overrated IMO also. i am 6'6" and having seats that really grip you like those sport seats do just make you sore and achy after a long drive. the sport seats in the 3 series are even worse.
one thing i would suggest to the OP is taking out your wallet when you drive. that's really helped my back pains in the past.
