I tried these today as well just to make sure and as soon as I started to play around I was sold. I have back problems anyway so these should definitely help. I got carried away and ordered massage too

Multi-contour seats have more adjustments than you will ever need. I've had people jump in my car and made comment on how easy it was to find a comfortable driving position.
That said, its indulgence at its core. Do you need comfort seats... probably not. Would you miss them if you have never had them... definitely not!!! |

I am definitely happy with my sport seats, I am sure comfort seats are better.
I had comfort seats in my F10 previously

I ve been using sport seats in previous two 5series. Having Comfort (Multicontour) seats for the first time now i am very unhappy and i would exchange them for sport ones in a second if i could. My logic was comfort seats must be better and i did not even bother to test them. Big mistake, despite having so many ways to set them up i was not able to come with comfortable permanent setup for my body till now.
On long rides does not matter how i set them i am having right leg pain, it feels almost like seat is not parallel with gas pedal axis. During fast cornering i have feel like sliding out of the seat. Side bolsters does not help and in addition it seems car does not remember their last position, while sports seats had ability to "encapsulate me". Perhaps i am weirdo, but this is my experience so far. Girlfriend, on the other hand, says those are best seats she sat in (does not drive long rides and does not ride fast ). Therefore my recommendation is, definitely test them by ride before buying. |

First time post! Excited to be in this group.
Does anyone know the difference between "multicontour" and "comfort" seats? My G30 530e build is on the water, should arrive in three days. I ordered "multicontour" seats but is that different than "comfort"? I know they are heated because I also have Executive Tier. Specifically, which seat package gets the air / massage? THANKS! |

However my heated seats came under the Msport Category I selected.. you may want to check to make sure you get heated seats with the executive package I think you can select Multi-contour when you upgrade to Nappa Leather selection or as an upgrade to the Dakota sport seats. and then for the Nappa you have the Luxury Seating option as well which includes Ventilated Seats / Massage Don't really know what comfort seats are unless that's the luxury seating mentioned above.

Multi Contour
Does anyone know which seat packages come with MASSAGE and AIR VENTILATION? I ordered multi contour seats on my G30 530e, which is heading to California now on the water. Love my build but I never considered massage and air.

Thanks for the reply.
Just got this as well from the dealership here in LA: The Multi Contour seat is our premium seat. It is a 20 position seat. It is not ventilated and does not include massaging. That is found in the Luxury seating package that upgrades to the Multi Contour and adds those two features. So you are right, "LUXURY SEATING PACKAGE" is what you need of you want massaging and air ventilation. Multi Contour is the upgraded seat with more positioning options (pros and cons in this thread) but does not include massage and air unless you get luxury seating. Case closed! |

I understand that I’ll be in minority here, but I find the 20 ways adjustable seats to be single most uncomfortable car seat I ever tried. And this is coming from humble roots, your family accords, camrys and such. My prior car was Acura TLX with a seat that was amazingly comfortable. I spared no cost on my 2018 540. Napa lather, diamond stitching with M package and all. No massaging though. Just completed 650mi trip and the best fit for me was then one that didn’t cause excruciating pain but was merely Ok. I painfully aware that the seat is relatively thinly padded, the seat top is almost flat (horizontally instead of being more round shaped, so it doesn’t hug you, you just touch it like in some office chair. The motive for this post is not to bash the car, but to point out that no opinion matters except your own. Make sure to test drive exact configuration you want to order.

None of us are built the same so it’s not crazy. I’m short and skinny but ironically all the 5 seats feel smaller than a 4 series and the pedals line up way better than my 4. I dint even find as much to complain about as some on the sport seats but I specced the multi countour almost precisely due to the upper back being adjustable as in my current car I was hunched as some others have mentioned since I sit a little more reclined. After having really hugged seats for a while I guess I’m ok with a little more floatiness n the softer side of things or I wouldn’t have gotten into a 5 in the first place and gotten another f32. |

I have the standard sports seats covered in Sensatec material. I really like them and find them extremely comfortable in long drives. Then again, I came from an E90 with thinly padded and short bottom cushion standard leather seats that were OK for the most part but not the most comfortable either.
I have no first hand experience with the Multicontour seats. Folks, key to seat comfort is proper seat posture. A bad or improper posture can make the most comfy seats with multimillion positions and massage settings hard and like a park bench. Gansta like seating positions, improper reach to the pedals and steering wheel all can play against your ability to get comfortable on your seat behind the wheel.

A quick update 1,400mi later after the my prior post. I made a few more of long trips and many little adjustments, the seat doesn’t hurt me anymore, but I don’t know if I’ll ever call it comfy. It’s ok, I made mental peace with it because the car is absolutely amazing in every way, but the seat and I don’t share the love, at least not yet
