It begs the question, however, does "better" refer to Recaro-like canyon carving or racetrack seat firmness and stability while perhaps sacrificing comfort, say, on a 3-hour freeway ride to grandma's house? Must say, I do like the Sport Package seats I have. Guess I need to find an M5 to sit in (and drive??) before passing judgment...
