I've narrowed down my choice of 2nd hand 5 series BMW. Most of these cars come with the optional extras I want (e.g. full leather seats, media pack etc). However, I really would like Comfort Seats and Head-up display. However, both of these are not very common optional extras on 2nd hand cars and extremely rare to have both. Therefore, I need to pick one option as being more important than the other.
If you could only pick one or the other, which one will you pick and why?

Confort seats, as they are muc h more comfortable then the standard seats. plus, head up display is more of a fancy thing to show off with, The seats are for comfort. You use them on a daily basis

Yeah standard seats arent as comfy as Comfort seats. I have Standard and my dad has Confort. HUGE DIFFERENCE. WISH I HAD THEM. If i was buying a new car, that would be my FIRST thing to look for

The standard seats are very nice, until you sit in the comfort seats. HUD is nice, but it is more of a gimmick. Get the seats.

Comfort seats....
I had semi electric sport seats in my last e60 - with optioanl Lumbar Support adjustment ....
They were good BUT Comforts' are the dogs b******s and on another level.
Plus you get finite adjustment not available on std part electric or sport seat
Seats probably the most important thing to get right in a car if you do anything more than just local mileage............
if you can get both - fine - if not decsion is a no brainer IMHO.
