If Comfort Seats are included in the US Sport package, then Sport seats aren't available anymore?
I believe that they can be special ordered.

In Europe the sport package goes with the sport seats not comfort seats.

One effective way of recognizing comfort seats is to look at the back part of the seat, if it as the possibility to adjust the upper half so it can fit the correct curvature of your back them it's "comfort seats".

I do have the comfort seats in my 530d (and also ordered to my 2008 535d) and they make all the difference

I had sport seats in my E39 and found them very comfortable. BUt I have comfort seats in my 'new' E60 550i. They are brilliant!

You can pump up the side bolsters to grip you when you are pushing on, or have them softer for when you are just cruising. I love the way you and also adjust the upper portion of the seat, and the headrest to fit you perfectly.

They really are very very good!

Lots. Sport seats have deeper bolsters on the the sides to keep you from sliding around, adjustable thigh supports, adjustable lumbar supports, and they are firmer than the standard seats. I had them on on my last two 5 ers and I loved them. Some people were critical of them as being too firm. They were on the firm side initially but with time they softened up as they broke in. When broken in they were wonderful.
At least in Europe you won't get lumbar support as standard with sport seats. It's extra.
