Wow, based on all the replies to this thread, it appears there is/was much confusion around the various naming conventions of the seats offered by BMW...differences in US vs Euro vs other country specs as well. I sure like the look of the pre-2008 US multi-contour seat headrest better than the 2008 LCI headrests...if I understand correctly, the pre LCI multi-contour seats had the whiplash protection as well. Wonder if they are interchangable? 
Probaly not worth the effort or expense though.

There you go Russ...spreading disinformation again...that's the Euro spec...the US spec comes with amber reflector on the seat sides and is not collapsable as the government is protecting us from hurting ourselves...sheesh get it righ will you

Never mind the bull above.
Sport comes with sports seats, but the sport package can be ordered with Comfort seats.
Costs some extra but i maybe worth it.
The new anti-whiplash headrests come as standard from Sept. built cars (BMW EU MY '08).
