Can't rest my head or take a nap with the headrests, but as the safety device that they're there for, they do the job fine.

I somewhat wish I had comfort seats, but when I'm doing some spirited driving, I'm not looking to rest my head on the chair.

I didn't go anywhere!
I love it. If I had designed it myself I wouldn't have done much differently. And it is SOOOOOOO quiet compared to the 530. Much more comfy. And the HVAC system really works, unlike in our BMW. And, on topic, the headrests are GREAT. And the stereo system is absolutely amazing. Very happy with it!

They reversed the headrest from the E39. I found the e60 headrest almost useless... It turns from bottom toward the driver. The e39 was from top toward the driver. I found the pivot on the e39 much better than the e60.

Oh well....I get what I paid for. I did not get the confort seats with the fancy headrest

Didn't realize so many people didn't like the headrests. I really don't use mine so that may be wy I like them. Plus the passenger side holds the screen to my DVD player.
