My front seats are hard as rocks and killing my backside on the long runs ... > 1 hour.
Any suggestions on improving the comfort level in this area

Simon,
My experience has been that the seats sag and give as they age, not get harder. Usually, the resulting lack of support is what causes the actual pain in the rear/back/neck. You might check to see if the springs are actually broken, or the back frame bent or broken. Remove the cover from he back of the seat and take a look. I haven't heard many complaints here, but the 5 series seats do have problems in these areas.
