I have an 08 528 loaner and the headrests are adjustable front to back. This is one thing lacking on my 05 where I find them back too far. Can I swap these out (assuming I can buy them)???

Thanks

Slip some wood shims behind your headrests and they'll extend out. Don't forget the screws

You can swap out the headrests on an 04/05 sport seat with those that came on comfort seats. Parts should be in the $400-$500 range. Check out this DIY thread. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=24075

Good luck!
