Is it possible to retrofit comfort seats? Does anyone have the ability to get the necessary part numbers for a retrofit of black leather comfort seats?

Thanks

I'll sell you mine for $30,000 so I can sell my car and buy an M5.

Honestly that is the one thing I will really miss in the M5 is the comfort seats. IMO, they are worth every penny, and I don't understand why the M5 won't have them. I even use the headrests frequently. I just find it's very relaxing to lean my head back every so often, and have the contoured headrest support it. I'll really miss them.

There?s a catalouge in wich the retrofitting of comfort seats are mentioned. Because of the differences in all cars there?s no price.

If you already have memory for your seats for example it would be much easier.

Do a seach on this forum, I think someone asked a dealer once, and was quoted something like US$8000 for comfort seat retrofit

I am actually asking for someone else. I have pointed him to this forum but I thought I would do a search and ask as well. Thanks for the answers. I am a little surprised so many have been sarcastic.

It is not unlikely that the most efficient and cost effective way to get the comfort seats is to switch car. This kind of retrofit are usually horribly expensive and not worth the effort.
Anyway, if you can get an offer from a qualified dealer, let us to know; just to increase our experience about E60.

Dude, find a crashed E60 that had comfort seats like at a repairable cars junkyard and make your best offer but only if the seats are in excellent condition!
