I had ordered a 540iA with sports package and sports seats. I drove it for about 30 minutes and my butt and thigh area was sore. I liked how they held you in with the side bolsters but the seat bolsters were too much. Luckly I did not buy the car yet and ordered another car with comfort seats and have had no problem with them. I also ordered a few more options that I did not have on the original order. I'm about 5'10" and 190 lbs.

A lot of other people do like the sport seats a lot.
Probably need to try one out before you decide.

Background: I drove a 528i sport with manual tranny for about 1.5 hours. My girlfriend and I both had sore bumms afterwards. It seemed like the seat was a very plush layer over a hard layer. These were standard seats.

I have driven a few 3 series, and found that the sport seats are extremely comfy... so I'm wondering if the sport seats on the 5 are as comfortable.

Anyone have comments? For the record, I'm 5'8" and weigh about 225lbs. I remember someone stating that they were too confining.

Thanks,
Scott
