I spent a morning sitting in all the X5 seats a local dealer had in stock, and driving in two of them. Although a long drive might be a different experience, I found the normal seats to be the most comfortable. I ordered mine with the electric lumbar support.

Now, I'm normally a sport seat person. My '87 325is had them and they were great. My '98 328ic doesn't, and a I *really* miss them. But, the X5 sport seats were too much - especially that thigh support that gets in the way, even when retracted and lowered. I think that would make my leg go to sleep on long drives.

I think seats are a personal preference, and depend greatly on your build and your body. The only way to tell is to sit and drive in them.



we're purchasing another 4.4 X5 soon. my dad found the orginal seats on our first X5 to be kinda uncomfortable, we opted for the normal seats even though we got the sport pacakage. How are the sport seats? Any comments on them? How about the new $1200 option for 16 way comfort seats? Are those any good?
