Here you go, those of us whose head can't comfortably "rest" on the headrest without looking down our noses at the road,,,are there any aftermarket solutions that may fit over our headrests and add about 3-4" so that I can sit in the seat and REALLY have a headrest instead of an anti-whiplash pad...?
Just asking -of course I may be the only one that has a bent enough spine that my head does not even come close to being able to rest on the headrest..?
Thanks for your ideas board-buds!

I am yet to find a car which has seats with useful headrests for me. I don't know - maybe someone positions seat at 90 degrees angle so headrest does appear close enough to be useful AND is able to drive in that position for more than 5 minutes, but for me comfortable seat position means headrest is almost a foot behind me head. I don't think it will save me from a whiplash.

I know exactly what you mean, this has always been a problem to me too ( standard seats ). The only car I have been in where the headrest is actually near your head is my wifes Saab. They could sure show BMW a thing or two about a good driving position. What I would give to have that cars seats in my E60!.
