Hard to describe, but they clearly have more "padding" for comfort but are still firm. Its not unlike teh feel of a 1.5" mattress pad on top of a firm mattress. The ones I sat in were in an M5, and I found them quite nice (my efforts to convince my wife we should get the M5 too failed miserably).
FWIW, I did find the X5 sports seats to be firmer but less sporty than those in my 330i in the sense that the side and bottom bolsters were less prominent (which no doubt make ingress/egress easier). The firmness difference could simply be due to wear and use on my 330i.
