Two weeks ago I did 850 miles in 16 hours with not more than an hour or two of stops.
Got out fresh as a daisy.................well nearly.
No problem with standard seats for me.

A colleague of mine, who's done over 50000km in half a year with his E61 525d, has standard seats and finds them perfectly comfortable. Maybe its just here in the forum that you hear a number of people commenting on how they have issues with these seats? I was under the impression it was a general issue with the standard seats, or maybe just many of us getting used to Sports and Comfort seats

OK, ricracing got me started on the configurator now (BMW, not Playboy!)
This is my current favourite combo, which does change regularly! Its Naturbraun (natural brown?). Will be interesting to see what it looks like in real life...
