The new headrests as of September 2007 production have an anti-whiplash feature. BMW changed the headrests in response to coming out very bad in several tests that included the risk for whiplash. I belive the headrest in some other BMW models was also changed last fall.

Does anyone know if these new headrests can be retrofit into the older seats? I'd love to upgrade my sport seats to this style headrest!

Im sure they prolly could fit into the older seats. Not sure about any pricing or anything like that though.
