To get the sports activity package without the sport seats? I like what the package offers, but I want normal seats. Anyone know?

You DON'T want normal seats. If you don't like the hold of the bolsters, there's a button on the seats that electrically controls the width of the bolsters.

Wish I had known that when I test drove the vehicle. Funny you mention that. On the 28i I HATED the side bolsters...they felt like they were too pronounced. When we drove the 35i, they didn't seem near as bad and I mentioned that to my husband (that the seat felt more broken in and not so stiff with the side bolsters). Looks like I'll have to go back and test drive it again with adjusting the bolsters. Thanks for the info!

I have had both, and prefer the Sport seats.

I have the sport seats in a 35i and greatly prefer them to the standard seats. The adjustable side bolsters let you fit them exactly to your personal "width" and the extra side support is nice if you do any moderately "vigorous" driving. They are a little firmer than the stock seats, and are a tiny bit harder to enter and exit, but even my wife prefers the sport seats and she has a lot less "built in padding" than I do.

Sport seats are awesome and adjustable. Don't know about the 28i, but if you're getting the 35i and plan to use the skinny pedal much at all, I think you'll appreciate the help the bolsters provide in keeping you in place.
