Sport seats uncomfortable
I drive a UK Sport model and I find the driver seat a bit uncomfortable..
I often find myself resting more on the left bolster than in the middle which obviously is a tad tiring and after a while it becomes a rather unpleasant experience. It is as if the seat is slightly biased towards the right and to compensate for the misalignment i lean more towards the left. Anyone else with this problem ? |

I'm quite happy with the sports seats, although at times I wish that the bolsters extended out a bit farther, and that the seatbelts were 5-point harnesses. Then I go back to normal driving, and I'm quite happy with the seats again.

can't say I've found the sport seats uncomfortable for me.

I find the sport seats very comfortable and supportive for long trips.
One caveat, I do take my wallet out of the back pocket on long trips to avoid that pressure point. I have been doing that for years, not just on the X3.

It took me quite a while before I managed to dial in the settings on my seat and get comfortable. I would tweak little things here and there while driving and save it to my memory each time until I finally found a point where I didn't need to press another button. I didn't reach real comfort levels until the last 1/4 of all my adjustments were done (the remaining touches brought me closer to seated bliss). My last adjustment surprised me on how much nicer I felt in the seat, which was bringing in the side bolsters so the seat hugs me around my torso rather than sort of hanging out off to the side.

Just took an 1100 mile trip and the seats are great for my wife and me.

Just did 515 miles on an all day trip. No issues with comfort at all.

My sport seats are great. I wish the chair in my living room was a comfortable as these seats are, especially after sitting in them for a long time.
