Boosh,

I am sorry that you are not happy with your seats. I just completed two three plus hour drives in my X5 35D with sport seats this week. My wife and I are both very happy with the seats. The seats are very supportive and I feel great after a long drive even though my back is in bad shape.

Chuck

This is the exact reason I ended up buying the X (comfort seats).
I test drove a RR Sport but couldn't get past the "uncomfortable to me" head rest. It was the first thing I noticed when I got in and I could not get comfy no matter how I adjusted the seat/head rest. I took it off the list immediately!
My husband and the sales guy thought I was crazy and said the head rest felt fine to them.
I hope you get it sorted out.

Just to be clear Boosh, the OP, has comfort seats not sports seats already. (see post 12)

Its the comfort (multi contour) seats he is finding uncomfortable.

OK, so it is the not so "comfort" to him seats he is having a problem with... I guess I have the regular not so "sport" to me seats in mine.

The RR dealer told me the headrests in the sport were anti-whiplash, but I would rather take my chances then have my head thrust forward and down every time i sat in my car. I couldn't believe there wasn't a way to adjust the headrest more but there wasn't.
I'll have to try out the BMW comfort seats, see what I think.
Maybe the op and I share some funky neck anatomy, I can understand his pain.

I had a land rover D3 HSE prior to the e70 X5 and the seats in that seemed comfortable when you first sat in them but after a run you got out in pain.
