If you're planning on staying around for a while, why not take a moment to pop your location into your profile?

As for the price, it seems pretty high, check if this price includes the active seats. This makes the seat cushioning moves simultanously to relax the thigh muscles.
My reco is "comfort"seats is a must
, if you drive long distances then go for ventilation/active seats. otherwise no need I guess.hope this was helpful.

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,

The 20 wat multi contour seats are the new standard sports seat for the 550, the original e60 sport seat was a butt buster, 545 model. This is a great option although I understand that the standard e60 seats are quite good. Good luck what ever you decide.

Thank you. I went ahead today and ordered a 535xi with the "Multi-Contour" seats(part of the SP). Believe it or not, my dealer didn't have one E60 with these seats on the lot. I'm going on blind faith, and the advice of the good people of this forum.

If Comfort Seats are included in the US Sport package, then Sport seats aren't available anymore?
