If you do a search on "comfort seats", you'll find more.

Or just pm Iceman.

I was told that the comfort seats can be adjusted to feel like sport seats. That is pretty cool if you want both. I didn't think about that and chose not to get the comfort seats.

I sat in both and found the comfort to be quite a bit more comfortable. I liked that you could inflate both the back and thigh bolsters creating a real sport seat feel that just holds you in, basically creating your own custom seat. Lastly, I could only find one other on my dealers lot, and figured down the line when i go to sell it, it may make the car stand out from another 545.

There's 5 things I would like to have: the comforts seats, rear air bags, automatic rear shade, HUD and Navigation.

For sure on the next one.

hey evperry,

I've had for many years BMW sportseats. If you drive a lot or don't have the back of an athlete, spend the 1.2k, the best ever spend in my case. Comfortseats will be a default option on my next cars.

Jimbo, Why the sun shade instead of the Tint or is that in addition too? All I have heard about the sun shades is the noise they make after a couple of years (rattles and they don't cover the whole area). I can still change mine, that is why I did not order them.

Thanks, John

The sun shades cover the side windows (even the triangualr one) and rear window quite well, and so far, after 7000 miles, no nise at all for me.
