Comfort seats are the best!!! I drove a 330 loaner non-sport that had the regular seats and they had to be the worst seats I ever sat in, after a one hour drive I was going out of my mind. Shame on BMW for ever putting in such poor quality seats.

I can't believe my dealer in Tucson tried hard to talk me out of buying them - next time new dealer. :thumbsdown:

I see they haven't changed much from when I dealt with them over 10 years ago. At the time they were the only game in town unless you wanted to drive to PHX.

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport, Premium, Logic 7, Jet Black, Black Leather, M-Aero Kit, 15% (very dark) Tint, Eichbach Lowering Springs, Red Brake Calipers, Radenergie R-10's, Michelin PilotSport2 in 245/35/20 and 285/30/20, Rolled Fenders, and a nifty Graco Baby Car Seat.
Next Up: Xenon fogs, Eisemann Exhaust, iPod Interface, Comfort Seats.
The sport seats in my wife's 540 are awesome, really snug. The sport seats in my 2005 545 are really wide- like they were designed for fat people. And they're not comfortable at all.
She just ordered a 2007 550 sport, so I believe she'll have the comfort seats.
Still, it seems like even the comfort seats are designed for our obese population.

It's not so bad, I just got one of these for my office. 30 minutes on this bad boy after driving into work and I'm as good as new.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
My sports seats are too comfy and not sporty enough. They don't pinch me down at all so I move too much during hard cornering. Feels like a sofa compared to seats in my Porsche.
I should've gotten Comfort Seats.

It took me few week to feel better on sports seats. I don't like it at first, but now I can't tell.
