We both felt that the side bolsters really dug into our sides even when we had them set as far out as we could. Do they break in after a while or do you just get used to it? It's a sporty car, but not so much that I'd be tearing around corners like a sports car and need that kind of support.

In my 535, I have the comfort seats, and really wish they were an option for the X3. They're big and soft and cushy, not hard and sporty.
If you can, I would get in them both again and spend more time adjusting them. I can see how they're not for everyone and I took quite a while to find a perfect position (so glad I opted for electric memory seats as my wife drives it too and it would be annoying to have to adjust them each time I used it after her). I like them now and I'm glad I went for sports seats. They look a lot better too IMO
