Hi folks,

What you think about that centre head rest in rear?To me it looks bit odd in shape.I think BMW has done a tricky job by integrating the middle headrest.May be a small flaw which can be forgiven.But still, have your posted.

OK, I'll bite. I agree the center rear headrest is my least favorite styling feature on the E60...

Mine looks a great deal better!

Sorry, I do only have a (cellcam) pic from the outside,
but you can clearly see that the middle headrest is lower.
