they've order a single one they think is correct. It's in the US so if correct, no biggie on returning, then they'll order the 2nd one from Germany. There were some overlaps so we'll see if I get lucky.

My 545 with comfort seats has those exact headrests. Little wings that fold out and make you feel like your in a dentists chair.

Exactly, except I don't enjoy going to the dentist

What color is your leather?

I have been wanting this also. My 07 looks like post #1 and my 08 looks like post #4.

I would like to have the 07 style in my 08 in Natural Brown.

I have the smaller wings in my 08 LCI 535 and they also are "active headrests". The active headrests were on all the pre-lci cars that had the multi-contour seats.

For the OP: mine are the cream beige. I love the smaller wings, they cradle my neck/head but still allow me to quickly check my blind spot.

The pic is my 08 535i with Comfort Seats in Natural Brown. Build date 03/07 (early LCI). Sounds like what you want. BTW, I love the seats and the wings, especially on a long trip.
