I'm new to this board, but I have a question. I've done a search and have seen people talk about getting the "comfort seats". What are they?
I've seen the buying sheet and the ONLY choices I see for the 2008 E60 are the "standard" seats, and the optional 20-way "multi-contour" seats.
What are these "comfort seats" people are talking about???
Thanks,

never heard about the seats youre mentioning but its probably the comfort seats since they are 20-way.
many different names on some parts, depends on what country youre from.

I'm from the US, so these seats might not even be offered. Anyway, a salesperson gave me a E60 brochure like this one.

(It's describes the "Interior Seating" on page 15.)
I've seen people here talk about "ventilated seats" too, but no mention of that either. Very confused here.
Thanks for your reply.

Comfort Seats = Multi-Contour Seats (I think BMW stopped calling them Comfort Seats recently -- maybe because it implied that the other seats weren't comfortable?)
Ventilated seats are an option but they don't show up on the option list in the USA (I don't know about other countries but I think they do show up in most others...) If you want ventilated seats in the USA, you have to have the dealer look at the "Priority One" options. (Also, in order to get the ventilated seats, you need to add Nasca leather.)

Comfort seats are the same as multi-contour seats.
They changed the name to multi-contour after it became included in the sports package in the U.S., probably because "comfort" didn't sound very sporty. Almost all forum members prefer these seats.

Just to confirm the thread title, there are also sports seats, standard in UK AFAIK with the MSport option...
Oh, and I notice on the standard 550i in the US there are 10-way seats offered - whatever they are...

Thanks for all the replys. I definitely get the Multi-Contour seats now.
I just talked to my local salesperson(he kinda sounded like he didn't want to admit it), but he said that the "ventilated seats" were a factory option. He also said that it would $3800. That's a lot of GREEN, don't you think?
