Sport seats have to much bolstering for me. (archive)

I had ordered the sport seats for a 540iA sport. I drove it for a half-hour or so and the upper part of my legs was in pain, too much bolstering. Maybe I would get used to it but did not want to take that chance. So I reordered the car with comfort seats (along with a few other options not ordered before). And now no problem at all with legs or back. I'm on the medium build side and was still effected by them. Originally I was told that if you were of small to medium build that they were OK. I did like the upper back bolstering of the sport seat, held you in the seat nicely.

I also really like the articulated back on the comfort seat.

Just my experience with them.

If you have Comfort seats, are you glad you got them?

Is the padding different than the standard seats, or is it just the articulated back?

Any comments on the differences would be helpful, since I can't find a dealer that has comfort seats.
