All,

If I order an X5 I’m definitely going with the sport pkg in order to get the dark headliner, sport steering wheel and 20” rims. One other feature I noticed was the sport seats with the larger thigh bolsters. I finally got to sit in the sport seats in an X5 and my impressions are as such…they offer great support for spirited driving and are comfortable by providing a “hugging” feeling. However, I really didn’t like how high the bolster is in this SUV application and I envision the leather getting destroyed from legs rubbing on it when getting in and out. I have high bolster sport seats in my GT500 and just really don’t need them in my SUV.

In looking at the other options on the sport pkg, it looks like I have access to the multi contour seats for an additional sum of $900. In playing with the online builder, it looks like the multi contour seats addition changes the sport seats to having the lower thigh bolsters and thus I won’t have the rubbing/potential wear problem. Can anyone with first-hand knowledge confirm or deny this? I unfortunately have not been able to find an X5 to sit in with the multi contour seats. I was on the fence on this feature but if it changes the sport seats to not having huge bolsters, then I’m onboard.

Thank you!
