The comfort seats have REPLACED the sport seats in the US market sport pack option. The upper portion of the seat now adjusts forward, a huge improvement. Also, they allow you to adjust the side bolsters, making them comfortable for folks of all sizes. The side bolsters (in my 550 at least) open all the way when you turn off the car for easy exit, and automatically tighten around you when you start the car. Very nice.
The old sport seats made it near impossible to turn around and tend a child in the back seat... very frustraiting, as is the seatbelt chime when you need to undo the belt to get turned around to help the kids.
My comfort seats have the nasca upgraded leather, making them a bit firmer, all the better.

Yeah my seats are fine, I just love the 72,000 way adjustability on them. I've noticed that they get more comfortable when I turn on the butt warmers, they get softer and a little plushier.

Hi
When I got my E60 M Sport I thought the seats were really comfortable. Maybe old age is setting in and changing from an E46 to an E60 has accelerated the condition.
Has anyone else had similar issues with the seats?
Cheers

There was a similar discussion a year ago or so.
As I remember to votes did go for the Comfort Seats, and by far!

Sport seats vast dissapointment imo: Nothing SPORTY about them, absolutley no latteral support, and not too much comfortable also. I mean if they are not sport, they should be comfortable but they are pretty much neither of them. I don't even want to thing what normal seats feel like.

If you have the sports seats, sports suspension and run flat tyres, I agree the ride will be very hard and unforgiving.
If you do have the run flat tyres a possible solution is to change to the non RFT this should soak up some of the hard ride.

I have the sport seats in my 3 week old 550 and I think they feel great. I did have to spend alot of time to dial them in just right to get it comfortable. The seats are much more comfortable than the ones in my X5.

I've just been out for a spin and re-adjusted my seat - it did feel better. But I'm gonna say that, anything to get rid of the cushion!
I miss the memory seats from the E46, but a bit of chinagraph here and there is the poor mans version for me.
Proper drive over the next couple of days, so hopefully this new position will work for me. (ooh err missus).
