Wow nice. That's my biggest complaint about my sport seats. I'll definitely call around and see if I can get some of these

What year is your E60 and the X5 that the head rests came off of? Looks good. A direct fit, except for the notches on the posts. I'm liking it!

My E60 is pre LCI 2005 and the X5 was a 2008, the headrest poles I have taken to a metal shop and had then grooved so they now work perfectly in my headrest sockets

Easy and cheap mod, and so much more comfortable.

I'm fairly new to the E60. Anyone know if there is a difference between the 2005 and the 2007 seat and headrest poles? I'm looking to do this mod. with the headrests.
