A friend of mine also has an 08 550i M Sport and his headrests look like this:

And mine look like this:

We both have comfort seats and all that... anyone know why there was a change? Mine had a 12/07 build. I asked him for his but he's across the country right now away from his car so I won't know for a while.

... hmm well I think it's safe to say there's no logical reason any of us has, at least at this point. I'll wait till my friend can tell me when his build was and maybe that will give us a clue. His was one of those Executive Used ones, so maybe it was one of the first to roll of the assembly line? I don't like speculating. Grrrr

anyway, i also have the second head rests... however, they look like but in that picture. if you take the outsides, you can pull them in. it looks a million times better/sportier.
