If someone finds out the replacement cost of the comfort seats please post.

I'm about to order my car tomorrow, those who bought the sport seats and didn't like them, can you tell me what you don't like about them? I assume you're intention is to upgrade to the comfort seats?

The seats are too firm. Also it is just too skinny for me on longer drives I get real uncomfortable.

The thigh bolsters are too close together for me and have no give.

Agreed. I have wanted to ditch my sport seats since I got them. I wanted comfort seats but there were none in the pipeline and I couldn't wait 4 months.

i second this exactly

I agree, the sport seats initially were very firm, but with close to 4000k on the seats, they are getting better (softer) and more formfitting. They will never be as comfy as the comfort seats, but I'm liking them better now.

Are the comfort seats any softer, or just more comfortable because of the extra adjustments, ability to form fit them more to your body?

Very much softer. Plus they have more adjustments. They also don't have as rised bottom bolsters leaving much more width for you legs, so that they don't feel pinched.

Well this is encouraging.

I checked with dealer, would be looking at a cost of over $4,000 to replace just one seat!

If you don't mind me asking, how tall and "wide" are the gentlemen that are having complaints with the sport seats? I am 5'10" 175 lbs, should I be concerned with being uncomfortable in the sport seats?

My X5 will be built during the first week of April so I need to know soon so I can make a change... if I can still make a change to my order!
