A comfort benefit of the M sport design package, which wasn’t immediately apparent to me, is the leather wrapped steering wheel vs synthetic in the standard design. I had a loaner in the standard design and the steering wheel felt plasticy and made my hands sweat.
Side-note, I believe the multi-contour seats are also an amazing option. Far and away the most comfortable and robust seats I’ve ever had in a car. I don’t even adjust half the settings. Big points for the X5 in the comfort department! |

Completely agree, the seats were a major selling point for me. We take a lot of car trips and they make long days on the road a comfortable experience.

Mine are as comfortable as the non massaging or ventilated comfort seats I had on my previous G05's.

I’ve got about 100k miles of butt in the seat experience with my G30 that has the luxury seating (heated/ventillated/massaging). I immediately notice how comfortable my multi contour non-ventillated/non-massaging are in my G05 (Wife’s car) everytime I get in it.
Only thing chalked it up to was maybe less room for padding if your jamming in all the messaging and ventilation hardware into the seat? At times I like using the ventilation but I don’t find the massaging very useful for me. I know others that swear by it. |

I am the only person who doesn't like the multi-contour seats on the G05. They are narrower at the top of the back than the standard sports seats. I am tall with wide shoulders and they do not work for me.
The F15 seats were awesome. |

Still - when the dealer put me in a ‘24 loaner with sports seats last week, my reaction was “these seats are so uncomfortable! When can I get my car back?” So, some of that may be what we’re used to….. |

Just exclude the massage option if you can and keep the ventilation. I butt tested all g05 with and wothout merino. Was easy to find because i am one of the few who left out massage and have merino with vent. I can confirm for me that merino without massage and vent felt the most comfortable. Merino with vent and massage not as comfortable. Vent really helps if it is not super cold in your car already. I dont like to have the aircon set to work too cold. All said above is from my own experience and I invested a lot of time
In this, even paid extra to exclude massage as it was part of a package and had to order all the other options from The package separately. good luck to all of you! |

Much to my dismay, I much (MUCH) preferred the seats in my bro's car - they had more padding, felt "beefier" and generally more supportive/comfortable than in my car. Mine made an impression of a cheap imitation of the proper seats my bro had You'd be excused to think that seats in a 7-series should be better (whatever it means) in every guise when compared to "lesser" models (7 series >> 5 series; right?). Life, it seems, works in its own ways and makes things more complex than that Lesson learnt, and for my X5 I ordered non-massaging seats (I had no option to drop the ventilation, so that's retained) and am super happy with the outcome. Seats are meaty, supportive, comfortable and put a smile on my face every time I drop my 180 lbs into them
