e60 comfort headrests

Paul330d · 07-19-2006, 12:53 PM

The standard e90 headrests are a bit hard and brick-like for my tastes. Does anyone know whether the rests from the e60 comfort seats would fit the e90? I realise that getting them in lemon leather would be next to impossible, however...

Ryan 330i · 07-19-2006, 01:02 PM

i really like this idea. i think i would do this if i could get them cheap...

Paul330d · 07-19-2006, 04:17 PM

Have you ever tried them? They are SO comfy - those pillows at the front can be bent round your neck to support your head a bit like the side bolsters on the sports seats hug your upper body

ZuerstBMW · 07-19-2006, 04:18 PM

So comfy that I might fall asleep driving?

Nikki · 07-19-2006, 04:21 PM

They don't look very sporty but they look comfortable...like a international airliner seat lol.

LWL · 07-19-2006, 04:26 PM

I thought about that idea too, but dont know where to borrow one and test fit it.

If they fit, swap them out with your Aunt.

What's up everyone, New to the postings. I'll be taking delivery of my new
E90 next week and my Dad just bought a new 530 with the comfort seats. If nobody gets a chance,or beats me to it, I'll try it out next weekend and see if it fits. I'll try to take pics but it will look crazy with my Tan interior with his Gray headrests. CAN'T WAIT TO FINALLY TAKE DELIVERY !!!!!!!!!!!

Please be careful. If I recall when I was younger, I rode in an older 5 series once. I manually adjusted the headrests without knowing that the headrests were in fact controlled by buttons on the side of the seat. By manually pushing the headseat down in the 5 series, I heard a "crack" and felt the headrests come off of its powered track mechanism. The button no longer worked after that.

Putting life experiences aside, I think comfort headrests in the e90 would be fcuking great.

bmwexecutive · 07-20-2006, 12:09 AM

I think this would look a bit strange. Isn't the 5er comfort headrest about 20% larger than the SP 3er headrest?

froman · 07-25-2006, 08:38 AM

Bump.
My wife was griping about the hard haeadrest yesterday. Has anybody tried this yet?

Ryan 330i · 07-25-2006, 11:24 AM

okay so here is the plan. i am going to BMW SF on thursday for a key issue. i am going in at 7am, so before anyone is in the showroom, i will look to see if infact...
1. they 5ers head rests are power, because then we might be screwed.
2. if they are not i will take them out and try them in an E90 they have
3. ask parts how $$$ (even though i would never buy them there...)
and last...
4. who is coming with me to keep look out for CA's coming in... lol

In response to No. 1 they are power operated. I think you might be SOL on this one.

i had a feeling even in the 525, or is it just when you get that seating package?
