Hate the sport seats

I took delivery of my new X5 last week and after about 500 miles I have come to the realization that I have made a mistake on the seats. Any idea if it is possible to switch at the dealer level? Or am I stuck?

:xoutpost:

it's not impossible to switch the seats. but it's not financially advantageous to.

I'm guessing you're stuck, because you now have a set of used sport seats. I can't imagine anyone wanting to trade for the comfort seats that they ordered. Having said that, I wonder if your sport seats fit an E53? Perhaps you could simply sell them outright and then buy a set of comfort seats. At least that would offset the cost a bit for you. Maybe there's someone out there who would love to get a decent deal on a set of new E70 sport seats to replace their old E53 standard seats??? GL!

Well, when you order the Sport Package plus Comfort Seats you pay full price for the Comfort seats and get no credit for the sport seats you didn't get. Maybe you can buy the comfort seats from the dealer for the same $1200 you would have paid had you ordered them originally. I would put some pressure on your dealer, it's worth a phone call.

Good luck, Bimmer seats are expensive. I had to buy one because there was an imperfection in the leather in my 545....the seat was 1300.00. I got it for 900 with my BMWCCA discount.

WTF? That doesn't even make sense. What would make it easier? That "salesperson" was on crack.
